He's eating like a starving doberman? Everything else seems okay, just that he's starving.
Also would you know if a regular pet shop would sell dehydrated venison crumbles? Susan said after a week I could add this to his meals for extra protein. I couldn't find it online. I found canned and dry dog food that had venison in it. She likes the ziwi peak brand. If you have any ideas I would appreciate it, Thanks, Tracey

not sure but maybe she has a link to a site online to get them from. Check with susan on the supplements but yes the prednisone will make them hungry so I have to measure out for dee dee or she would eat the whole bag of food lolll

also ask vet if pulling back on steroids would cause the diarrhea as that could be it as well and maybe ask if you can keep the steroids at same to see if it was supplements or steroids as I always think changing one thing at a time is best to see what triggers stuff

Glad he is barking for food though that is a good sign

It was my fault, I got so excited about his package, I forgot about the pill dose being cut, I should have waited a day before any change or additions.
So far everyone else has firm stools, and no worms in the bucket, everyone here thinks they were maggots. I was gonna look them up online but I was really afraid I would have nightmares.
Back to the venison, I wonder if I couldn't get frozen venison from a butcher, like patties, just as long as it didn't have any seasonings. I'll snoop around tomorrow.
Have a good night, Tracey

I got an appointment for all this wed. stool and heartworm tests, just to protect tuck from a relapse from worms. I better plug in the steam cleaner now,when the girls return they will be spitefully peeing for a day or two. Now that's what I call dogs with major issues!!!
I am going venison shopping now to the pet shops. I think Tuck needs a little more of something. And susan ok'd the venison. I think he's now really feeling so much better that he realizes he's on a diet and starving.
Thanks for the compliment on being a good pooch mom, the people I work with think I am totally nuts and tuck should have crossed over. I told them this is why I only work pt. time with you people!!! That went over big, hee hee...I owe his recovery really to you, if you wouldn't have said don't give up, I might have, seeing how poor his health was, he was just wasting away. I was starting to feel selfish by wanting him to stay alive. But now he is still very boney, but he acts like nothing ever happened. So again thankyou from me, my family, and especially The Tuck man..
