When I got her she was on hormone and thyroid pills, weighed almost 17 pounds and could barely walk without falling over. I put her on bison and lots of fresh ground veggies to add to the meat and she's down to 11 pounds, doesn't need hormone pills and the Vet. cut the thyroid in half. I had her tested for cushing, but she doesn't need medication. I wouldn't give it to her anyway since it could actually kill her. I found that certain all natural products mixed in her food is actually turning her around. She is a gem of a girl and is house trained to go out and I trained her to use the pee pads too. You could never find a more perfect little girl. I'll attach pictures of her. Her name is Belle, but we call her porkchop. |
She such a pretty little girl. What a difference losing a few pounds make. Her mix would be perfect for an older person who just wants a companion. Marley is half Shih Tsu and I've never had such a laid back dog.
