This isn't because she has to pee, she uses her pads just fine any other time...more of an excitable angry response I think.)
It will be difficult to use human food (green beans/apple/watermelon) as this type of treat as I will end up with a mess!
Also, it may be important to know that if she poops and I don't catch it right away, she shreds it!! I know know if she actually eats any (though I do know she has eaten all of it in the not so distant past...I've only had her for 5 mo.) or if she's playing with it or what?? It is very frustrating and plain old gross that she does this!!
Speaking of eating poop, I'm working on the teeth issue. She does have a little yellow plaque on a couple of what I think are pre-molars. If I'm honest, I would say that I "brush" her teeth with cotton pads saturated in a solution (they came that way) sporadically at best. What do you think of Maxiguard oral cleansing gel?? MAXIGUARD Oral Cleansing Gel - Trusted Pet Pharmacy Along with CET mini toothbrush and CET vanilla mint enzymatic toothpaste? |
I've never used MaxiGuard.
We use CET toothpaste and a toddler toothbrush.
Liver issues can affect their teeth.
Ellie gets whatever for treats as long as she isn't allergic, her pancreas isn't going to be set off by it and it isn't going to be a big problem for her liver. That is usually lettuce, banana, apple, bell peppers... I bake her treats also. d Peeing on the floor when she knows you are going to leave is separation anxiety.
