I have a westie that, three or four times a day, shows all the signs of acid reflux. Since I have the problem myself, I know what these signs are. About 3-4...
I am definitely not expert in this area (for dogs), but I might suggest adding a spoonful of lowfat yogurt to their food. This seems to help our four dogs. ...
I've never had this problem in a westie, though I too have it myself. I believe you can safely give her a Tums once a day, and I think you can give her Pepcid,...
Our vet said dogs' bodies don't react the same to yogurt as our bodies do, and yogurt is of no benefit to dogs. I'm not a vet, so I have to take his word for...
Never occurred to you that the "reason" yogurt doesn't work on dogs is because the vet can't charge $25 for it? Sarcasm mode off. That said, TRYING a couple...
... Hey, Judith. I'm new here though not at all new to Westies with digestive issues! I have a rescued Wesite who has had pancreatitis since I rescued her...
... Congratulations, Diana! As I said to Pandy, you're in for a wild and wonderful ride! I always have 2 dogs at once but never had a Westie before I rescued...
I need help with my dogs' diet. My two Westies started on Cannidae (dry)and ate it (not a lot of eating enthusiasm, but they ate it). Even though everyone...
I was told by someone else on this site to give Duffy a spoonful of low fat cottage cheese before bed. I have been doing this for over a year and he rarely has...
Why the sarcasm and hostility toward me? Or is it toward vets? I can't tell. But if you only welcome members on this list who agree with you, please let me...
It's the automatic acceptance of vet "wisdom" without analysis. Just like erroneous notions about allergies. Yogurt is milk. The idea that milk - which...
Sounds like you are doing pretty good. They do need the calcium, especially puppies. That's why so many of us do feed yogurt. And they can be "lactose...
It doesn't have to be cottaqge cheese. Any small snack at bedtime is a good idea for a westie. And the idea of several small meals a day is also a good idea....
Last night, I was sewing on a new original quilt design in my little sewing corner. Usually I am propped up on the bed, against a mountain of pillows, working...
Penny, I'm sorry sorry to hear about Daddles. I just cried as I read your story. Just remember that you gave her the best life she could have after being ...
We've had to say good-bye to many of our own over the years, and it's never easy. I'm crying with you as I read about Daddles! But, be confident that you did...
Penny, That must have been very difficult to write. It sounds like there was nothing you could do. Daddles was where it was best, in your arms. I'm so sorry, ...
Penny, my heart is breaking for you, Gordon, and Daddles. I have tears flowing down my cheeks as I read your blog. Know that you gave Daddles all of the...
Penny, After I wrote this I went to my email. A dear friend sent this link to me today. I could not stop thinking of you when I read this. Seriously, anyone...
I found him at the Humane Society 17 years ago and Monday we are going to say good bye. He is the greatest dog, so much character like all Westies. I was...
I'm so sorry you and Spartacus are parting. I'm so impress you've had him for 17 years, it gives me hope. I truly dread the day either of my two wonderful...
I'm very sorry that you and Spartacus will be parting. I will be thinking of you and will light a candle on Monday. He will have many friends to keep him...
I'm sorry to hear about Sparatus. How wonderful that he gave you so many years. Thank goodness he found he way to your home 17 years ago. Now you will give him...
Dear Penny we are on our 4th Westies. Our beloved Freddie passed in 1992 at 13 and none can ever replace him. Then we got Sparkle a 2yr old female from a...
