[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Dog Tales

Hi All,

I give my dogs pure plain canned pumpkin when their digestive track is not right and things are not in the healthy firm state, if you get what I am talking about.  I just put 1-3 tablespoons on their food once or twice a day, until everything is back to normal.  All of my dogs have loved it.  One dog refused to eat his food when I stopped adding it.  So from that point on, I gave him a teaspoon on every meal.  

Be sure that when you are buying the canned pumpkin, that you get the pure pumpkin, and not pumpkin pie filling.  The pumpkin pie filling has all of those wonderful spices in it that your dog does not need if they are dealing with digestive track issues.  

HTH,
Annette

Hi Greg,

4 questions:  
1.  Do you mix anything into the pumpkin to make it more tasteful? 
2. Do you put it in her food or give it straight?  
3. Do you thaw it out or give it frozen?
4.  Where can I get the info on the Home Again microchipping?  It sounds like a good program, especially with the on call nurse 24/7.  My dog has a microchip, but the information is old and outdated by about 7 years.  I had forgotten about it until I went through her papers recently.  She's a pet, not a service dog.  Home Again sounds good.  She does wear a bone-shaped tag with her name and my cell phone number on it (an FSU tag).  Thanks in advance.  Take care and god bless.

Annely

 Also, is she
 microchipped? You may be entitled to call and talk to a vet

 through that. Tammy has Home Again and for
 $20 a year, one of my benefits is 
 a ask a
 nurse type thing but with a vet 24/7 unlimited. That's
 just one of 
 the benefits.

 As long as she is
 eating and not just laying around I think that is a good
 sign.  Monday seems like a long time away, but
 keep her going out side for
 relief.

 Have you looked up online to
 see if there is any more that you can do?

 What week! Have little Annie spaded this past
 Monday, and paid a good deal
 at the Vet for
 this. Well also had a tooth removed also. On Wednesday, had
 a
 bowel blockage and cleared that up by
 giving her pumpkin to start things
 going, it
 worked well. Still nursing tooth and soft food. Well today,
 has a
 urine infection. Paid for the shot but
 still got infection. Has to take her
 out
 about 10 times a day. Of course the Vet can not see her
 until Monday at
 9AM, cause closed today at 3
 and we called at 2, and closed Sunday. Annie
 seems fine in every other way but Mommy is a
 reck. Just need smypath from
 other doggie
 families.
