I have also noted a sig decline in water drinking. My lab was going through a river every day. Seriously couldn't drink enough water.
The mellowness continues in both dogs.
Last night I gave Milo the remainder of his AM chix leg and he finally went to town on the bone which he's been avoiding.
They are down to one poo a day and yesterday seemed to be Milo's detox day as his started fairly normal and ended in a tarry looking mess.
Zack had one normal but smaller poop yesterday evening. ( The day Zack moved back, he pooped 4 times in as many hours and I swear it was as big as horse poop!!)
Milo has always been so easily excitable and when you picked him up during one of those moments his heart would be pounding so fast. Now he still gets excited during play, etc----but he is more controlled and his heart rate is much more even.
I have to say that I am amazed at the changes and how quickly they occur.
We had nick named Zack, ProZack, as in, he needs some doggie therapy. He has always been a big worrier and prone to anxiety type behavior.
My DS was commenting on Zack yesterday and asking in a joking way, "Are you ill Zack?" because he's so diff.
I said, " You are witnessing something never before seen in Zack in all his 14 years----- Meet contented Zack!"
I look forward to reporting the health changes, especially in Zack, as I notice them. Zack has a sig case of arthritis in his front left leg most of all and I await a change in all that stiffness.
I can't thank you enough for this thread. I know there have been others, but something about this one nudged me to finally take the plunge.
