Bella is 3y/o and has been very healthy the past 7months after completing several rounds of Cytosar chemo txs for her GME/MUE. She’s been happy and vibrant and her old happy self. She came off her Prednisolone in Feb and has been neurologically perfect. About two weeks ago, she started giving up all her foods slowly. She is an absolute food lover!! It was a shock to us as she completely stopped eating. She looks at food/treats, and literally walks away. She’s lost 1.3lbs in 2weeks. We have... Hunger Strike - pls help ..read more

Tried to search before on the forum but nothing came up for some reason, now I see at the bottom of this thread that there are lots of similar recent posts linked that I can read and learn from. Apologies if this post is repetitive. Recently relocated and couldn't get hold of the Italian brand we're using. Decided to go with Eukanuba about 2 months ago as it's easy to source in all the pet shops here and science-backed and hopefully wouldn't have to change again. The girl has been itchy...

I think my 18 year old other small breed dog is going to pull through his recent, second kidney episode. We will know how well by mid-week after a checkup with bloodwork. He has been on an antibiotic for almost 6 weeks, although nobody is really sure what has caused his problems. Picky eating has been frustrating and the antibiotic may be part of the problem. We have run through lots of canned foods and kibbles, prescription and otherwise. Lately he is interested in what I am eating - such... Opinions about Dr. Harvey's or similar "bases ..read more

Hello, I am looking for new treats for my Bailey. He has no teeth,so they must be soft,and I would like them to be relatively healthy. He really like the Pup-peroni treats,and I would break them up into small pieces,but the treats that I last purchased seemed to get tough,even with me keeping the bag sealed. If anyone else with a furbaby without teeth can recommend soft treats,I would appreciate it ..read more

Anyone who has known Ling Ling knows she is very food motivated, and will inhale anything in her path. Last night I gave her a dental bone after dinner and in a matter of minutes it was gone. Next came this terrified panic look on her face and she began gagging and frothing at the mouth. I knew a piece of the bone must have been lodged in her throat. First I opened her mouth and tried to see or swipe anything from the back of her throat. Next was my attempt with the heimlich maneuver, and... Ling Ling’s dental bone nightmare ..read more
