Garypco 2 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Cant say much till uv seen her LB is it a stomach problem is it viral or has she been ill and just got used to not eating,first thing is obvious get it on an electrolite solution that may help enevitably she might need a drip if its gone downhill that bad u may need to hand feed her try liquidating food at this stage tripe or heart might be too rich id stick to chicken and rice for now,just to get the digestive system going anything higher in protein or richer might be disasterous for the little thing good luck keep us informed as im sure as time goes by ul get more advice an d imput from every one...

Guest Lurcherbitch Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 What i can gather from owner is.....she is'nt happy, she does go out and seems fit, but when comes back wont eat. I will put more info on tomoz, with a pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Chris and i were discussing the same thing a short while ago, and out of the blue he said he used to use cat food with the hounds and at the vets etc when dogs where off their food....id done the same with my old bitch when she was dying. Ive always said Whiskas put cannabis or something addictive in their food cos any animal loves it and cannot get enough :11: :11: :11: MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lurcherbitch Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Well !! if this dog is in bad condition, i'd hate for him to see the other dog's i get in. Here she is, it's my mistake she isnt a beddiex....She is a greyhound/whippet/beardie. she is 21inch and apparently is a good little rabbiter, he said a working home would be well pleased with her...although she does need training on the recall, as she gets carried away chasing the bunnie's, but then she is only 11mth. Her pooh n wee is fine she ait her tea so will keep an eye on her for the next few day's n see how she goes . Sorry this is the best pic i could get...will take more tomoz.
