Green beans are high oxalate and shouldn't be given.:(
I would with TLCs recipe and just use water with a mashed veggie, a flour (not sure what kind is good and an oil (canola should be fine?:confused: ).

they aren't going to have these anymore either. I had nothing to give them and they were driving me crazy. they look very forward to that first morning treat and also when i get home from work. when my husband gets home too they head straight for the treat jar. we were giving for 2 days- the sweet potato things i bought. But no more of those either for them. I want to make the treats for them but i also want to put a lot of really good things in there that they can have. on the link i found i just didn't know which one to pick. I guess i really don't need a specific recipe... i am def thinking about going with the wheat flour and from there ??? not too sure. i read about eggs included in the recipe, honey... but i want to make sure i make something good they can actually eat. lately i have been giving them things that they LOVE but then find out they cannot have.

Hey if anything its distracting my mind from worrying so much. :-) i still haven't given the Ursodiol yet. I am going to tonight though. around 9 pm is when i will give her that. Just scared that's all. :-) i read that somewhere 37% it causes diarrhea. and i hope that she does ok with it. samie never has had diarhea- not even once. so maybe she will do ok.

ok- no more green beans now then. i thought they were med oxalate? any ideas on what kind of mashed veggies? i am going back to the b-naturals link to read some more.

the problem i am having with the b-natural link is it has a WEALTH of info on there and i keep getting side tracked. But yes i have to spend some time on there definitely.

The girls need a bath today and a nails and ear trim. and i still need to go to the grocery store. I am limited on time today but i have got to find something to use for treats. I just tried to give them a piece of wet food for now out of the fridge and it worked. The wellness dry food that i wet (doesn't seem to keep them full for a long time) i fed them this am at 6am and they are laying in front of their water bowl now. next feeding isn't for 6 hours. so when i give them a treat they leave the water bowl and lay down in the living room with me.

When i go to feed them it's as if they hadn't eaten for days. they have never done this before until i switched foods. and they eat so fast also. 1 min or less and they are both done eating.

Honestly, you would be surprised at how little you need to add.

Flour (like 1 cup)
Water (maybe 1/4 cup or less)
Oil (and really only like 1 tablespoon)
And something else....(pureed celery and zucchini or squash)
and then bake

You really don't have to go too nuts with ingredients and flavoring ;)

this is what i found for "low oxalate" - i will also eliminate the meat/eggs so that both dogs can have the treats i make.

VEGETABLES:
Avocado
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Mushrooms
Onions
Peas (fresh or frozen)
Potatoes
Radishes

MEAT and MEAT SUBSTITUTES:
Beef, lamb, or pork
Cheese
Eggs
Fish and shellfish
Poultry

STARCHES:
Bread made without bran, wheat germ, or whole grains
Cereals
Macaroni
Noodles
Rice
Spaghetti (plain)


FATS and OILS:
Bacon
Butter
Margarine
Mayonnaise
Salad dressing
Vegetable oils

ok- i will try it! thanks so much.
I will let you know how they turn out and what i used.

oh can i use a little brown gravy mix in there? or peanut butter?

what about oat meal?

One site I found says green beans are high oxalate, so who knows.

If the brown gravy has salt or preservatives I wouldn't use it.

Here's my theory...I try to stay as grain free as possible, but that's just how I feel. I am sure you can add some rolled oats (not instant oatmeal) if you would like. Also, maybe mash up a bunch of peas to add in there. The PB might be ok, not sure though, maybe just add 1 teaspoon.

I try to use minimal amounts of ingredients. KIS (Keep it Simple :p )

Honestly, a bunch of mashed up peas just might do the trick for the taste(with flour, water and a tiny bit of oil) ;)

Oatmeal is moderate to high high oxalate along with wheat flour. It gets a little bit confusing because different sites have then in different categories...

White rice is considered moderate or sometimes low. It isn't the best choice for the liver but a little bit probably wouldn't hurt. Maybe try that?

ok- this is what i am going to try...
 

flour (not sure if white flour will be fine) so i am still debating what type of flour to use since wheat won't work)

I will mix:
flour
water
veg oil
mashed potatoes
pureed apples

I am going to boil the potato and apple, then mash it and add to the flour and oil & water mixture.

any flour ideas?

ok- this is what i am going to try...
 

maybe i will add a little white rice

If you think white flour will be ok- then i don't even have to leave the house. I have peas, potatoe and apple and oil here at the house) i was going to get something other than white flour.

i decided no white rice

is brown rice flour ok. I don't know if i will be able to find this at the grocery store if so? also i think i want to get safflower oil too. i decided to pick up some unsweetened apple sauce to save time. :-)

i hope i get this right....
