The pumpkin has fiber. When Nala was sick, I fed her poached chicken, rice, sweet potatoes (easier to get in New Orleans), topped with dollups of ricotta cheese - with the approval of her vet. Vet suggested either pumpkin or sweet potatoes and the ricotta cheese (calcium).Quote:

Thanks everyone again.
He is feeling way better ...he is playing and running And eating...the diarrhea stopped thank God. He is happy now!... :)
Just wanted to share a few pics of him and his girlfriend Paris (yes she is taller than him and she is the Boss...lol) and also some of the babies they had this past April.
Awwww, what adorable little babies!
One time when my dog had a sick tummy I made him chicken and rice. I was at the stove cooking and my teenaged son walks in and asks whats for dinner. I said I don't know but the dog's having chicken and rice. That was the point at which my kids understood that it's all about the dog.;)
Thanks for all the advice...
One time he got sick because my son got a can of wet food from I don't know where...it was one of those cheap ones and he gave it to him... he got sick so bad and we didn't notice it after 2 days when we saw that he couldn't even walk and we saw he was pooping with blood. He had a high fever and the Vet said he got an infection that maybe that food had to much fat in it. they gave him Antibiotics and some medication and a diet of Chicken soup with rice for a whole week.
Yeah...I cried each time when they got their new owners. They were my 8 favorite babies, 3 girls and 5 boys.Quote:

One Thanksgiving the female came home from a "wander" with a fully cooked Turkey! Someone must have set it on their patio to cool. We had just moved into the neighborhood but we lived there for five more years and I never heard anyone telling a story about a missing turkey. (no I did not go door knocking)
OMG..thats hilarious!...LMAOQuote:

A couple of them we had to massage them to promote the breathing...it was a bit stresssful because she was popping them out one after the other. If she was by herself I believe she wouldnt be able to keep up and maybe one or two would have ended up dead....She was also laying on top of them trying to warm them up but that was her first litter so she didn't know and instead of warming them she was hurting them.....so good thing I took the day off. I new the night before she was going to have them the next day anytime..so I called in .Quote:
