Hi All--- I don't mean to overstep, but I would like to point out the usefulness of the signature. When you go to your profile, there is an option to create a SIGNATURE. Mine is at the bottom of this posting. In your signature, you can post your dog's test results & other interesting things abou...

Diane--- I don't know any of your background information, but I want to make sure you know this---if she still needs to gain weight, her daily food intake should be 150% of the amount of food she would be eating if she were at her IDEAL weight. Then when she reaches her ideal weight, you taper off t...

Oh, OK then. Thank you! This evening I just put them one at a time in the back of her throat & I followed each one with a little disk of Slim Jim. I used four, filled all the way, because there was still some room at the top. Like I said, I've got this oblong capsule filler, and since the capsul...

So I tried peanut butter this morning. Having no idea which meal she pooped out at 1:00 this afternoon, it was the softest yet. But, Jeremy, since you had the same results at first, I'm gonna give this a couple more days. What on earth is soft lunch meat with liquidy stuff on it? Spam? Liverwurst? I...

Olesia actually did her science thing, to come up with the amount to put into the capsules, and that's what I did. The cheese, though, may be interesting. I cou...

Thank you, Olesia!

Well, the two capsules I described, enteric coated size 00, each filled 3/4 full, have the same effect as one teaspoon of enzymes.

Does that help, for starters?

THAT's the conondrum! I can just rudely hold all my dogs' mouths open & stick a butter-covered pill in the back of their throat, but I'm not so sure about Nina, and I am so pleased by how well she's doing, I don't want to mess up. SO I'm hoping that someone who has done this successfully ( on di...
