Dang it, Reg--I just had the sites open within the past few days, but the connection is degrading because of the weekend crowd streaming in so now I can't get them up again. But I'm sure they'll be accessible again by Monday, so I'll do a little more reading then.
I've heard of SEB but had forgotten about it. Is that something that I'd have to get at a health food place or would a pet supply store maybe have it?
Interesting that you mentioned the bentonite clay, Reg--I thought it sounded familiar. Turns out the litter we use has bentonite clay in it...but I'm assuming that sprinkling the litter in his food is not a good idea?
I use pumpkin with the dogs all the time--we have a couple with hip/SI nerve issues that need a little help staying regular, so they get pumpkin in the morning. I'll steal a little of theirs for JD. I'm sure they won't mind.
Do you process your own sweet potato, Longblades, or does it come canned? (Probably a stupid question, but I've never looked for sweet potato except as a root!
)
No change in diet, Lynne. He's been rotating between 5 different varieties of canned food since he arrived in July and hasn't had any problems.
The vet sent out part of the sample I took in today for analysis--results due back tomorrow, and with luck, before they close at noon. Maybe we'll know more then. Meanwhile, until I can get back into town for SEB, I'm hoping the pumpkin will help a little.
Thanks for the ideas and the good wishes!
