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

Hi Vicki, I hope scoop feels better, it's so hard when you don't know what to feed them. I asked someone once who worked at a pet food store what was good food, well she said normally dogs do well with beef first, then chicken for older, and then turkey when they have sensitive tummies. That has been the way Simba has been, kinda weird, but makes sense too I guess. Simba was on hills diet for awhile but that gave him runny poo, it's sometimes a guessing game, always on poo patrol too.....sending hugs and prayers

Hi Letti, Thank you. It is hard with Scoop's diabetes and the IMS thinks he might have Irritable Bowel Disease. I worry about him losing weight because at one point he was down to 16.2lbs. Mel suggested slow cooking turkey breast so from what you were told that would be better for the tummy.
Hugs to you and Simba.

Leslie, you are so right about too many changes. I just wanted to make sure he would eat. I like the fish ideas. Maybe I could try putting his g/d food in a blender instead of giving him cut up pieces and adding some fish.

Patti, I pray that what you see in Tipper is not any signs of a macro. It is the pits knowing about it and just waiting. I was curious to look at Sean Delaney's website but when I google him several others with that name come up and I don't know which one. I never had lentils. Is that something that would cause gas?

I like all the tips everyone is offering and I appreciate all the help.

Thank you.

Vicki,

Daisy Mae was said to have IBD but when our newest vet gave her Baytril for a bacterial skin infection. the loose stools, accidents in the house, and gas all sudsided and she needs to go less often! Dr. Kimm said that Baytril would have no affect on IBD and he thinks that she had an underlying infection _ possibly from the incident with bad Blue Buffalo Wellness
dry food.

Please ask your vet about that possibility. Poor Daisy had chronic diahhrea for almost 3 years! Other vets assumed IBD and none of the prescription foods had any affect. Since taking the Baytril, she hasn't had any issues and is back on Royal Canon Dachshund dry food with no problems.

Vicki:
No lentils do not cause gas, at least in Tipper they did not. They are in the dried bean section. They are very mild, and I guess that is why no gas. You can give him Beano if you want to give him other things that do cause gas. The Vet told me Beano is ok for dogs. I am pretty certain Tipper lost weight, and these lentils seem to stick with her more. It seems she is more satisfied than the other way I was feeding her. I know they have lots of fiber and fill you up. I hope Scoop is doing better today. Prayers to you both. I will get Seans website and email it.

Vicki:
You can reach Sean Delaney at the website www.balanceit.com this is the website for the product he developed. Just send the email to his attention. You can look on there to see videos you can look at as he has made many. Look up top in the selection for videos. Good Luck, hope you and Scoop have a good day.

Patti-Scoop's vet just last week told me about that website but I haven't checked it out closely yet.

Valerie-Thanks for the tip about the Baytril. The only thing is most times when I tell the vet about things I read on here the she says, don't forget they aren't vets. Drives me crazy. At least give it some consideration. I have tried telling her these are people who have experienced these things.

Scoop has had diarrhea from Saturday morning and it hasn't let up.
Guess I'll be calling the vet's office today.

Vicki:
Poor Scoop, he has been really having a tough time of it lately. You can fill out a profile on the website Sean has and it will tell you what Scoop should be eating. The videos are interesting also. We need to get poor Scoop on the mend some how. Let me know what you think of Seans method. Prayers to you both.
