Ruby started her treatment with doxycycline on Wednesday. We will be doing that alone til the first of the year and we will start her on the treatment with heartguard. She seems to be suffering no ill effects at this point (not expected) and is as happy as ever.
One of the things we first noticed about Ruby when we went to see her at the shelter was that she had massive amounts of hair loss. Not typical for a vizsla. She still has that somewhat, and we figure it is due to the stress her system is under. I am hoping the seameal supplements and premium food, plus the raw foods will help with that. The places that were shaved for her spay and IV during her spay are slowly growing back. People have asked if she has mange- last I checked mange didn't happen in squares!!
Ruby starts her day with a little love from everyone... then she waits patiently for her breakfast of dry kibble with seameal gravy, and a little desert course of a "meatball" This is a great treat for your dogs... it makes a HUGE batch!!
The following recipe was sent to Wellpet by Diana Carreon, R.N.,C. It quickly became one of the most requested posts on Wellpet.
Ingredients
10 pounds hamburger meat [the cheapest kind]
1 lg. box of Total cereal
1 lg. box oatmeal
1 jar of wheat germ
1 1/4 cup veg oil
1 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses
10 raw eggs AND shells
10 envelopes of unflavored gelatinpinch of salt
Mix all ingredients together, much like you would a meatloaf.
Divide into 10 quart freezer bags and freeze.
Thaw as needed and feed raw!
