Just wanted to post an update. Izellah has had the most perfect poops since switching her over to raw. It was a bit rocky at first but she adjusted nicely and now I have piece of mind knowing that I don't have to worry about diarrhea anymore and bad gas. Thank you, everyone! :D Her coat has also...
I don't crate her for stuff like that because I was told constantly to not use the crates as punishment so I've always been afraid to put her in there when she's acting up.
Could it be her heat? She's on her heat right now and I've noticed that she's taken an extreme interest in male dogs as...
Izellah is a good dog, I'm not going to lie but I'm at a loss on how to fix this problem I'm having with her and it's driving me crazy.
She has these moments of "outburst" where she will go nuts and won't listen to anyone or anything we have to say. When she isn't having these burst of energy...
I was wondering if anyone else has to do this to their bulldog.
I've noticed that Izellah sheds a lot in the spring and fall but almost never a single hair is noticed in the winter time. Last year fall and this spring, I've had to strip her coat by hand. Although she isn't a breed with a wire...
Does that mean it would be okay to keep her intact for the rest of her life? I've heard about mammory tumors and pyometa which I've done a lot of research on but it hasn't made me come any closer to a decision.
Izellah is a little over a year old now and I'm wondering when I should have her spayed. I wanted to keep her intact until she has completely stopped growing because we do a lot of activities together and I want her joints to be in perfect condition. But I'm not sure if spaying her now would...
Okay, great! I will take this into consideration next time.
How do I calculate how much calories she should be getting a day? Since it's so hot here, we haven't been able to do much more than very short walks and lots of backyard time.
Oh, really?? I didn't know that. I'm seriously going to considering giving raw another try then. The nutritionalist I spoke to also recommended it but I'm not sure what type of plan she is going to create for Izellah. How long should the diarrhea last when you first start feeding raw?
I figured...
I don't have access to Doctor Harveys unfortunately. I'm in Canada.
Update: I've contacted a canine/feline nutritionalist in the city and they are going to help me create a meal plan to balance Izellah's diet and improve/resolve her digestive issues. :)
She tested positive for giardia but they couldn't find any active ones in her sample, just traces of an enzyme that usually appear when they've had giardia. I think that is that the vet said.
