My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

Hugs and prayers from us, hoping things get better soon!

Benendrayl helps with anexity. I can only take one.....makes me sooooo sleepy. and not to often.
I heard something about milk thistle helping..........
if you can find a nutritionist....they or they may know of someone to guide you to. I might try and do a google search and then check reviews, education, etc if i can find something i will get it posted.
may ask if mylanta would help or even pepto. but be careful with the sugars in them.
as you know pumpkin helps with alot, how about trying lean boneless skinless chicken breast slow cooked in croc pot all day....the scent might trigger nom nom yum tunes then offer tiny shreds of chicken but with broth from chicken more. and maybe sit and eat with your baby...hand feed. if scoop sees you eating same thing it also might trigger something. perhaps even pedilite or something to ensure hydration. There has got to be way to get scoop in sooner...........evidently this doctor missed the memo that explained to be aware of pet mommas stressed. wonder if they have cancelation list. there is an answer. we will find it........love on your sweet baby scoop....let me google what i can find. just snuggle away, embrace the sweetness and love, and hopefully i can find something.....i also might even email the nutirtionist shysie has here in texas and ask if she knows of anyone or if they know of anyone. there is a answer somewhere here. thinking of you.......thinking of scoop. embracing you both.

what is a near by or main city or area i can begin a search in for you?

Thank you everyone for thinking of my Scoop and keeping him in your prayers.

Skye-Thanks for all the suggestions. With Scoop being diabetic it makes things complicated plus he's on so many different meds. He has eaten but the wrong things. He gets chicken breast twice a day and he has been giving me a hard time with that and that used to be his favorite thing. My husband says, I guess he's tired of chicken. I don't think it's a simple as that. Raleigh eats Alpo and the food is in gravy. Scoop is eating that right now but when I try to mix his g/d food in, he lets the g/d fall out of his mouth. So this morning Scoop ate about half a can of Alpo and a little dry w/d food with chicken baby food mixed into it. I cook chicken breast in water on the stove. Maybe I could try keeping the water and using that. The only thing is once the g/d food is in his mouth he lets it fall out. Ideally Scoop should be on a low fat diet. I was hoping to see an alternative medicine doctor who will do diets but if it's Scoop's tumor that is affecting his brain, I don't know if a certain diet will help. We live just outside of Allentown, PA.

Scoop drank so much water this morning. I haven't measured his water for a while so I don't know how much it was. But he drank and drank. He was up at 2:30 for a drink. I take him out to pee at 4:30 when my husband gets up for work. Then out again after he eats around 6:15-6:30. This morning we were still in the kitchen and he went pee on the floor. Didn't get him out fast enough.

Well at least Scoop is eating, and maybe he is eating it because Raleigh eats it. You have been a great mom to your boys, Vicki. I have one of our two cats just jump in my lap, Nellie she follows me around like my Lulu would.

Vicki:
I know you need a nutritionist. The very best is Sean Delaney. You can email him and he does answer emails. He is an associate professor at USC Davies. He lives in California and developed a supplemental powder for dogs with problems. This powder is not destroyed by heat, and neither are the vitamins in it. It took a long time to develop this. You simply cook some type of protein with this supplement. Like ground chicken. He has put out some videos explaining and showing how to use this product. I would email him and tell him about Scoop being diabetic. He is wonderful, and brilliant. He founded DVM. He will defintely help you. God Bless you and precious Scoop boy.

Hi Vicki, it is Me Moo, Bob's wife. Bob told me last night about what was going on with you and your baby. I know you must be beside your self. My heart aches for you. I am remembering you and Scoop in all my prayers. Keep the faith honey. You are a wonderful Mommy and Scoop is lucky to have you. We are all here for you.
Hugs,
Moo

Thank you Bob, Moo and Patti. I'm afraid Scoop's going to need all the prayers he can get.

I'm pretty sure it's his tumor that is doing this to him so I don't think a special diet is going to help.

Patti- That sounds very interesting about Sean Delaney. How do you contact him? That would be something I would normally be interested in but right now, I don't know. I'm scared. I wish he could develope a supplement that would shrink these tumors.

Does anyone know of a good quality canned food that has gravy but is low in fat?

Has anybody ever heard anything about the University of Pennsylvania and their radiation therapy?

seems i did hear something about that.......at least that university. I can ask my IMS if he knows anyone there if you would like. i know that he is good friends with one of the top in the nation for GI issues Dr. Mike Willard. http://www.veterinaryanswers.com/michael_willard.html
so maybe he will know someone in the University your asking about
