Went this morning to his kennel/ run, very loose again. Now I know you have try gamble what's doing what, I think it's the raw mince chicken, don't see how boiled rice and bit gravy /veg do it.? I've been to my vet, just got back, checked him all over, checked anal glands, OK, his prostate, bit swollen, but she said his age 11, it is I old dogs. I told her when was younger and worked him, he always be OK 1st shit, then get more loose from each time he went. I told iam getting and trying her meal that not got wheat in it and more for sensitve gut, don't come till Friday, and going to stop the chicken, and try either beef or lamb, but only small amounts, he don't lot of food now, I keep up with rice and gravy bit more veg. She gave tabs, and jab see how goes till Friday, cost £ 82 quid, but as said she is a good vet, she knows score working dogs, she used ask me when he was younger, if still exercising old Charlie when out I said if I see them good she said, we both had laugh lol, so I've got these tabs to get through, and see how his then. Plus new food My last lurcher used to do several turds on a walk and they got looser with each one, I put it down to him being highly strung and I'm sure the b*****d squeezed the last drop of liquid on purpose to watch me struggle to pick it up. Chicken gave him the shining lights too. 1 Quote Link to post

Is it as beneficial as fatty meats like lamb and beef? In the shooting season I have access to as much pheasant, partridge and duck as I want, but what’s peoples opinions on feeding dogs game that contain lead shot? I've never had a dog that would eat pheasant, even minced up. If your dog will eat it though I can't see it being bad as a feed just might need a bit of fatty stuff mixed in with it.

Sounds identical to my last lurcher I could almost guarantee he would hunch up and start shaking one out when someone with another dog comes opposite way down track 1 Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,426 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 That thing of mine always did it when someone was looking so you have to try and smear it around with a bag to show willing and then scuttle off cursing him. I really don't miss the beardie bellend. 2 Quote Link to post
Chaff 3,590 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I've got a good supply of shot game. I personally wouldn't give it unless the shot is out. Maybe I'm being overtop but we all different mate. Quote Link to post
