Made up some more dog chow...
this time she is getting
1 Tbl plain yogurt
1 Tbl pumpkin
2 Tbl raditore pasta (cooked)
2 Tbl steamed/canned green beans
3/4 tsp all natural canine supplement
I ran out of green beans so I had to use canned (no salt added).
It all looked quite delicious until I stirred it up.
I didn't notice much of a change in her temperment with the chammomile, so I left that out this time around.
She's still got quite a bit of arm steak left but has gone through all her liver. I'm trying to figure out an alternative organ meat because the liver is just too gross for me. I've been looking for some chicken or turkey hearts to use instead but with no luck.
She sure does love her eggs though, she slurps them right up! And her breath is the worst on Tuna Tuesdays.
She seems to be slimmer than she was before I started all of this. I can't decide if it's just because she's hitting that akward not puppy/not adult stage or if it's because she needs more protien. Some days I give her an egg with the steak if she seems a bit on the thin side. Right now she looks pretty healthy.
On another note: I started her on K9 Advantix in may. when the day came to reapply in June I did so. I noticed she kind of started being extra wiggly and rolling on stuff. I wasn't sure if it was the Advantix or if she just needed to get her wiggles out. I left her for a few hours and when I came back she was covered in hives! She was itchy and bumpy and looked terrible. She was in good spirits though and was playing with the cats and acting normal... just more itchy. She didn't have any hives on her face or head, just her body and legs. I ran to the store and got her some dissolvable childrens benadryl tabs and some oatmeal bath. I tried to give her half a tab but dropped the other half as I was trying to put it away and she vacuumed it up before I had the chance to grab it away. (at least I don't have to worry about her not wanting to take her medicine) She survived and it definetly stopped the hives and itching. I gave her a bath with the oatmeal stuff too and she was fine after that. She didn't even get sleepy from the benadryl (dang!) I kept her on the benadryl for 2 days as needed. She's fine now but now I have all this extra K9 Advantix left over and I need to figure out a new way to prevent fleas and ticks.
