Update: Roe's back to normal!!!

Mac'N'Roe · 03-28-2008, 10:16 AM

Yay! Roe is back on a new kibble (California natural Chicken & Rice Puppy) full force. She had her first full kibble meal last night after a transition period. I was praying for good results. So far, she's taken to it nicely. She had a nice solid poop this morning (I never thought I'd be so happy to see a poop

).

Thanks everyone for chiming in...this forum has been a great help. This is my first time having a dog, and just want the best for them!

my dogs have always done well on california natural.... sometimes the other foods just have to many ingredients for a dog with a sensitive stomach.... I am glad she is settled in and doing well.... and yeah its amazing how excited dog people can get about poop

Glad to hear she is doing better! Congrats and keep up the good work.

Thanks, it's a lot more work than I ever anticipated. I knew it was a commitment, I truly (though I hate to admit it) didn't realize how MUCH of a commitment it was going to be. I'm having the time of my life with them though and love them so much. I am thankful that I am financially stable enough to take care of them (they will have cost me easily $1000 in the last two months alone)

Training -$200
$315 spay/neuter next week (and will probably be more by the time I walk out)
$300 in mange treatment
$150 food (two bags canidae, one medium bag of CN, chicken/beef for when Roe was sick)
$100 in toys and treats (this is an estimate)
$34 doggy daycare trial day
$40 - first trip to the groomer

Not to mention the $300 camera I'm about to buy so I can take better pictures!

Gosh...If I could only spend a third of that on myself I'd be happy. But, I guess indirectly..it is. I get so much out of taking care of them.

they should take the canidae back, it is guaranteed

That's good to know. However, I've only got half a bag left and Mac is still on it. I'll just finish it out on him...and then transition. I actually may keep him on it...just depends on how difficult it turns out being keeping them on separate foods.
