The kid can't catch a break. We spent this morning at the vet's office doing a barium series, thinking she was going to have emergency surgery. $200 later, she has an upset stomach and three prescriptions. She hasn't held down a meal since Sunday. She *did* hold down her dinner tonight, but...

Innova or any diet
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
For all you Innova feeders out there, do you usually rotate foods, and why? I am trying Evo for my furkids and it is their first time off of the RC Limited Ingredients Diet.

I'm back!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Wow, I haven't been on I-dog is some time! Every few weeks I'll go through, but never post or even sign in. I guess the whole new format ( still is 'new' to me, anyway ) got me over-whelmed! For those who may not remember me, ( or the newer members ) I have Hope, the pit bull mix. Oh...

HI everyone, Boomer spent most of the day at the vets. And the good news is that the doctor seems to thinks he can save the leg. He will have to go in and essentially break it again, apparently higher up and then reset it not using a pin but something else, I don't remember what it was but...
