Vicki,
I know how you feel. Our new Stanley helps, but both Moo & myself still morn for Lulu. Maybe that's good. She was our life for 12 years. Stanley has been our life for almost two months, and he is just wonderful.
He's not Lulu, but he helps. Take care, and know you are not alone.
hope your ok, here for you!
((((((((((hugs))))))))))
Letti:
Hope you are doing well, and starting to heal your heart. I know Sim is looking down and keeping a watch on his wonderful Mommy. Blessings
Patti
Thanks everybody.
It's still tough. I saw the same counselor on Monday that I saw 5 weeks ago. It helps for a bit but then right back to where I was. She did say that it is normal how I feel for the amount of time. She also said if I still feel this way after a year then there is a problem. Don't know if I could take feeling like this for a year.
Had some tummy issues the last few days so that has made me feel even more like crap.
I have a question. I read about Magnesium Stearate and it is bad for dogs. I can't remember if I read about it on someone's thread or where. I know it is used when making capsules. Does anyone know if it is still bad if you open the capsule and dump the contents onto the food? Is it on the outside of the capsule?
Thanks if anyone has an answer.
Hi Vicki,
I actually know something about magnesium stearate. Capsules are put together with machinery in the factory. magnesium stearate is commonly used to as a lubricating agent to help move the chemicals through the machine into the capsules. I discovered it when I tried to buy SEB in capsules, so I looked it up. It is not good for dogs or people for that matter. I ended up buying the SEB powdered online without the additive. Opening the capsules will not remove the substance. Please read the link below. It will tell you everything you need to know. Big hugs.

Thanks Kathy,
So if I open the capsule and use the substance inside and throw away the capsule part the magnesium stearate is still a danger?
Yes, it is still a danger. :(The magnesium stearate is a compound that that is mixed in as an added ingredient. It has nothing to do with the capsules, except it is added to the medication/vitamins/etc. to make the capsules work better in the machines. It is used as a lubricant.
With the medications etc, added dangers are the last things that our furlets need.
I can't believe that its use is allowed.
