Anyone Have Problems Feeding Cheese???

[Britster]

Jackson's never had issues with cheese, but we only use it for high value rewards. We buy the low fat string mozzarella cheese. Plain chicken and string cheese are what he works the hardest for.

my vet today told me today to give my 14 week old Trinket nothing but her RC and Nutrical. Said too much calcium is not good. It crystlizes and surgery is needed. So I guess no more people food. Said it is different when they become adults.

We didn't give them anything else different and now both are sickly . They are eating and drinking fine but their energy level isn't what it usually is.

I think it was probably the amount of cheese they got and not necessarily just the cheese. I only give a small piece maybe an inch long and a quarter of an inch wide for one. I'm sorry your lil one's had problems.

I know this was the problem with our Peek A Boo. DH started out giving him a taste then by the end of the week he was giving him a whole slice, bit by bit. That's when he got sick! Dh forgot how small their tummies are.

Cali is about like KatieScarlett when she smells cheese, and can never get enough of it. I have started using the all natural CHEESE PLEASE as a treat and she loves it equally as well. No wheat,gluten free, no sugar, no MSG,no transfers, no corn and very low salt.

I'm dairy free, and the dogs are too. I say stick with the chicken.

I agree about the amount. Be very careful if you do use cheese. I have big boys -- 8 and 9 pounds -- and I give them each 2 tiny shreds of Parmesan and they think it is the biggest treat in the world. Teddy is prone to loose stools if I overdo things with him.

Oh my I never thought that a quarter slice each would hurt them . They are both doing lots better today I gave them baby rice with a lil pumpkin last night for dinner and it has firmed them back up. But I thank you all for the advice. I think we will definately stick to chicken from now on to be safe though.

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Hot Rod seems to have the opposite problem with cheese. Hubby is a big cheese eater so he will give them a zuke size piece of chunk cheese from time to time. Anymore than that Hot Rod has a problem.

Glad your little ones are doing better.
