loriusgarrulus Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Our papillon was 16 when I had to do them regularly. Wouldn't risk a general anaesthetic on him at that age unless it was an emergency. He lived to 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 update,,,, well my shooting buddy has changed the dogs feed and put her on Dr Johns Gold, he is giving the dog raw bones also and after a couple of days the dogs poop has certainly hardened but the good news is although the dog is still licking its back end although not as frequent, she has stopped dragging her bottom along the floor and seems to be improving , so it looks like the change of diet and the raw bones is working so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmick Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 update,,,, well my shooting buddy has changed the dogs feed and put her on Dr Johns Gold, he is giving the dog raw bones also and after a couple of days the dogs poop has certainly hardened but the good news is although the dog is still licking its back end although not as frequent, she has stopped dragging her bottom along the floor and seems to be improving , so it looks like the change of diet and the raw bones is working so far Glad to hear it, today's scrag end bones were devoured by pooch together with offcuts. The best meat has now been minced with some frozen a few weeks ago and I've got a bolognaise sauce slowly cooking on the range. I'm in the process of moving the dog and three cats over to a barf diet (bones and raw food or biologically appropriate raw food, depending on your perspective). I costed it out and there's very little difference between what we pay now and what I expect to pay in future. A bit of an eye opener really, cuts down on packaging and makes more use of what I bring in from the field, e.g. guts, offal and crop contents of birds will provide additional fruit and veg, mineral and vitamins.
