Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2007updating Robochallenge
I couldn't find anything worth commenting on, so I'm making a post to throw in my Robochallenge stats. I'm still using Fucothin. My dog's vet told me to make him some rice. So, I made rice for the first time in four years. The dog gave it two sniffs and went back to bed. I found a new source of gray market liquid sucralose. It comes in a glass bottle with an eyedropper. It seems to be less concentrated than sweetzfree. That makes 3 known sources. A friend sent me an old photo from an Asian restaurant: http://techmart.com/~cubit/Before_rjk2.JPG Cubit 190/162.6/160 Mr. Delorie's Robochallenge: http://www.delorie.com/health/adslc/ > My dog's vet told me to make him some rice.

Vets are paid in food now? Kewl! Okay -- seriously -- Is it for digestive troubles? We had a dog we had to do that for -- rice and ground lamb (boiled). The smell was horrid -- but he ate it. Mix the rice with his dog food? BlueBrooke 254/239/135 since 31/12/2007 Mixing with the other dogfood might have worked, but the vet said to not even add oil to the rice. (The vet is a woman, so I didn't see the ambiguity in my post. hehehe) >>I couldn't find anything worth commenting on, so I'm making a post to >>throw [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > BlueBrooke > 254/239/135 since 31/12/2007 >Mixing with the other dogfood might have worked, but the vet said to not >even add oil to the rice. I see now, since you mentioned he had diarrhea. But I can also understand him not wanting to eat "plain" rice -- yuck! LOL! Hope he's okay now. >(The vet is a woman, so I didn't see the ambiguity in my post. hehehe) (Then thank goodness I did -- was much more fun that way. <g>)  SignatureBlueBrooke 254/237/135 since 31/12/2007 try frying up some LEAN ground beef and then washing it...........................get all the fat off that is possible. THEN add the rice. that works for dogs with diarrhea. > Mixing with the other dogfood might have worked, but the vet said to not > even add oil to the rice.

Pretty much everything a dog eats, will pass given time. > Why would any of these things cure diarrhea? Won't it just pass given time? Starchy foods are binding. Either fat or fiber foods are laxative. So Rosie's suggestion made a lot of sense to add burger to encourage the dog to eat the rice while limiting the fat as he doesn't need anything laxative right now. Diarrhea can be life-threatening due to electrolyte loss; it's one of the most common causes of death in infants worldwide. I don't know if it's as critical in dogs, but even if not, living with an incontinent dog isn't exactly something one would be patient about. > Why would any of these things cure diarrhea? Starchy foods are binding. Fat and fiber foods are laxative. So Rosie's suggestion made a lot of sense to add burger to encourage the dog to eat the rice while limiting the fat. I'd add the suggestion that it should be polished white rice, not whole grain, to limit the fiber. >Won't it just pass given time? Diarrhea can be life-threatening due to electrolyte loss; it's one of the most common causes of death in infants worldwide. I don't know if it's as critical in dogs, but even if not, a dog left home while you're at work isn't going to be able to let himself out if his need becomes critical. I doubt most people would want to wait it out. > Why would any of these things cure diarrhea? Starchy foods are binding. Fat and fiber foods are laxative.

Interesting. Thanks. ::: Won't it just pass given time? :: :: Diarrhea can be life-threatening due to electrolyte loss; it's one of :: the most common causes of death in infants worldwide. oh, no. I had it once as a kid and lost a bunch of weight. :: I don't know if it's as critical in dogs, but even if not, a dog left :: home while you're at work isn't going to be able to let himself out :: if his need becomes critical.

Dog poop in everywhere in/around Dave's house wouldn't be good! :) > jackiepa...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Makes sense. Dog poop in everywhere in/around Dave's house wouldn't be > good! :) When we got our puppy a few years back she came to use with the terrible trots. So much so it became bloody. She had been eating pupy food in Seattle. The man who brought her and her brother over here for his sister to adopt out, gave them different food than he gave them, then I came along and like a dummy forgot to ask what she was eating. The poor pup got three different kinds of food without being able to "climatize" to the food. The vet had me give her plain cooked rice and a bowl of water available at all time for 3 days and nothing else. Then she told me to introduce the dry dog food into the rice then slowly withdraw the rice from her diet. It cured her. She now eats a wheat and corn free dog food. They say corn especially makes for a fat dog. Cant have anything fat in my house including the dog BAAAHH!!!
