Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

Hi Angela, let me commend you on your decision to stay away from horse meat! I don't know if horse or tripe stinks worse, but they are both beyond disgusting, though completely different. And talk about urgh moments!

We actually have branded Dr Billinghurst BARF here, so maybe I should try that with my boys one day- I've tried anotherbrand but not too impressed as said before. the good thing is, if they won't eat it I can always give it to my sister for her Aussie Shepherd. That dog eats pretty much anything - if I give it to her that is :cool:

Hi everyone, lots of comments on the food! Thx Angela for the tips on the vegie mix, I do give him vegies that we have for dinner but will look at adding a few more. He has never liked fruit of any description. Not sure if I will go totally raw, he seems to be doing so well at the moment on the half and half we are doing.

He gets a bit bunged up on bones, although I did give him one of the smallish venison bones the other night, he loved it and no problems that I have seen. I worry about those chicken necks, he gives them one or two crunches and they are gone! It's weird because he crunches on a single biscuit about 10 times, I wish he would chew the chicken necks a bit more carefully! So I don't give him those anymore, I imagine them going through his gut practically whole :eek:. I have not seen any horse, would not buy that if I did see it.

Hey Trish,

Our news just said a tsunami warning was issued which includes New Zealand:eek::eek::eek:

Stay safe!!! I sure hope Angela is not heading towards the beach with the little ones:eek::eek::eek:

Aww Addy, thanks for thinking of us but the alert is now cancelled so all feet and paws have remained dry! Angela's city is on the coast as well and they are certainly are a worry when they announce these warnings, but all safe here!

Keep those furry little paws dry....glad to hear everyone is safe.

Whew, relief!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

gotta run Zoe overslept again, whats with that girl?

:eek::eek::eek::eek: Didn't hear that one! Wow, glad it is cancelled though, very scary with that possibility hanging over your head, and lets face it NZ has been through enough earthquake activity in last few years, especially south!

Take care on those beach walks with Flynn!

Goodness! I saw Addy's update first and had a panic attack over a tsunami! Then what a relief to see you say it had been cancelled. No one needs that kind of water heading their way. I think New Zealand is due for a break with earthquakes and warnings of one kind or another.

Stay safe! Paws up!

Hi all

After talking about Flynny chundering in Naomi's thread, he actually did really just do it!!

I got him some of the ziwipeak food this week, they said to gradually introduce it which I have been doing. The pet essentials guy said to give it in the morning, then the raw meat (venison/possum etc) at night and he would not need any additives espcially if he had the tripe twice a week.

So this morning he just had a 1/2 scoop ziwi, some gastro biscuits but no meat like he is used too. I think he was still a bit hungry, he loves the ziwi but did not eat all the hills gastro biscuits. But he has taken to leaving a few for the past couple of weeks.

I have been busy writing up a project so not keeping such an eagle eye on him today, just had visitors and he was fine, playing with them. Said goodbye at the gate and he went and threw up on the lawn :( It had a lot of long bits of grass and bile in it. No sign of his breakfast. He has been acting fine, energetic, hungry, normal poop this morning... wanting something to eat every time I go to the bridge but I have not given him anything. Fine again straight after vomiting too, running about.

So I think he was wanting food and because I did not give him any he had to go eat the grass... but he always has been a grass eater. I just gave him half a serve of venison and he has settled down and gone to sleep. Hope he is just adjusting to diet and nothing else.

Saturday going good here otherwise :)

Awww Flynny, maybe he didn't like this switch up in the diet. Just see how he does the next couple days. You know the drill better than most anyone when it comes to watching the Flynnster. :)

Our snowstorm seems to have tapered off. The snow is deeper than Molly is tall. She is not happy. (can't say I blame her) :)

Have a good weekend.

hugs,
