WOO HOO!!!! SOLID poop!!!! WTG Bella!!! Keep it up girl!! :thumbup:

and we've never done Flossies or any rawhide but the CET stuff,, but we do occasionally,, (like today),, give the girls a Booda Bone,, but always when watched,, they absolutely LOVE them!! today is Trixie's first,, and she is growling and keeping big ole Daisy (9.4 lbs) at bay,, and we have a Nylabone too,, the chicken one,, its been around for 2 yrs,, they take it by spells,,,

Thank goodness Bella continues to improve!!

You mentioned getting a food dehydrator and trying sweet potatoes - I can tell you that at the Novi Pet Expo there was someone selling packages of these (I can't remember the brand name). They looked lots like a dried apricot, but thicker and much firmer. Well long story short, one of the people who bought these gave a piece to her baby. When they chew and it hydrates with the saliva, it becomes really super sticky and gooey. A piece got got stuck on her very back tooth and the rest went down the back of her throat choking her. They thought she was going to literally choke to death when they finally got it out. So that is something to keep in mind as well. Seems like nothing is safe!!!

Read through this entire thread and how frightening. I don't use nylabones since Charlie only has a few teeth, but I did when Sophie was a pup. I remember her chewing and pieces were loose; threw it away because of the possibility of swallowing. I bought bones from the grocery store, simmered in parsley water and she chewed on it. Safer I think they plastic, stinky hooves which I believe are unsafe.

Great news she is recovering. Warmly, Deborah

I Love Bailey 03-12-2008 07:05 PM
OMGosh.....how horrible!
I am glad they are both doing much better!
I threw all our flossies & bully styx away last week since after chewing on it for a little bit, Bailey got terrible diarrhea. I am so picky about what they both eat so I knew it was from the bully styx.
Bailey found a small piece of an old one someplace last night and had diarrhea again today.:( So that does confirm it!
They are both getting groomed at the vets in the morning and I will bring in a fecal sample just to be sure.

I do feed them dehydrated chicken strips which they both love, the place where I buy their food sells them and I found them at target also.

Gizmo's Mom 03-13-2008 02:48 AM
I don't have to use my imagination to know what you and your babies went thru. I can still remember the pittiful look on Gizmo's face as he was puddling blood on the vet's table. We have been there too. I'm so happy she has come thru this. You are a great mom for getting her the care she needed. Nothing but happy thoughts for you and yours. :)

p.s. Friends please don't let your babies down on the floor at the vet's. You just never know.

Beabble 03-13-2008 03:44 AM
I just now sat here and read through all your posts on this subject, HOW SCAREY this had to have been for you. I've never given any of our furkids bully sticks or flossies and I won't either. I'm soooo picky about what I give them, mainly all they get for treats is Old Mother Hubbard bones, their all natural and I have never had a problem with them in all the years I've given them to out furkids. I won't give rawhides either, have read some stuff about what's actually in them, it's horrifying. Anyhow, I'm so glad your furbabies are doing much better, please keep us updated as your able.

Oh Paula, I'm so sorry to hear this! I am glad Bella is improving, and that Dig-ster is back to normal. I'll be thinking of you and Bella, and sending prayers up for a quick recovery.

OMG! I'm so glad Bella is feeling better. I'm so sorry u went through this. So this bacteria can grow on any item they chew on? That's real scary. I would have never known a bully stick could cause all of this. I never give bully sticks and rawhides cuz they gross me out, but now I'm wondering about the everlasting treatball and tiny paws. I hope she keeps moving towards recovery.

Thank you for the well wishes :D

I dont think plastic items are an issue.....I think its more animal based products...like pig ears, cow hooves bullies, flossies, etc.. Id keep everthing clean just to be safe tho! :confused:

nansyorkies 03-13-2008 02:43 PM
OMG.. I so glad they are both doing better. I worry so much about my babies, i wash there bedding every other day, and once a week, i wash all of there toys.

Wow, Paula, I am so sorry you had this scare with Bella and Diggy!!!!! I just found this thread, and am sooo soo very happy that they are doing better. This is truly scary. I for one, want to thank you for the warning, we don't use bullies or flossies. But now I know we are never going to start!!!

Kisses and hugs for Bella and Diggy
Hugs for their mommy too

So glad to her she is up and running!!!:D :D :D

fufufashions 03-13-2008 05:07 PM
Glad Bella and Diggy are on the road to recovery! How scary for all of you!!
Were there some bully sticks recalled for samonella recently or was that something else??
I wonder if these were some from China??:mad: I tried to find things for my
girls to chew on at Petsmart and all of their bully sticks, and all chewies
except nylabones were made in China. I won't buy anything from China anymore.
Thanks for all the infromation!!
HUGS to Bella and Diggy!!
XOXOXO
