Thank you SO MUCH for all of your advice! I appreciate it SO MUCH! I am going to go to Petco and get the Benebac for them until I can get the other stuff through the mail. When we went to bed last night I heard little 'rumblies' in Daisy's tummy and wondered what was going on in there. I am so happy to be getting them on the right track now.

Daisy and Teddy are around 14 lbs. How much Benebac do you think I should give them?

That is brilliant about the golf balls! I did try putting a little tire shaped rubber toy in the bowl so he would have to eat around it but he kept moving it and covering up his food with the tire. Then he couldn't get to the food. I did finally break down and buy him those divider bowls and it seems to help with his gulping.

Thanks again!

Lady used to gulp her food down so fast and sucked in so much air that she was bloated and ill after she ate. If I didn't burp her like a baby she would vomit up her food.

I solved the problem by putting her kibble in a Buster Cube. It slowed her eating way down. Treat dispensing toys are fun for them because it brings out the natural prey instinct.

i use the fresh digest from petco; i like this digestive enzymes because it also has FOS; and the primadophilus from whole foods; it's a probiotic powder for humans (fridge section)
