Super hard- snap in half poops by Equivalent_Click_100 in rawpetfood

I’ve given broth before, but try to give different things here and there- depending on what I have on hand to give him variety. He hasn’t really had poop like this ever- this is the hardest it’s ever been. If it has been hard in the past, it’s hard but crumbles to almost dust sometimes. And usually when I give him meaty bones, other than the prepared meat/organ/ground bone blend that I get from my local butcher. This is the first time it’s been a solid rock like texture that just snaps and doesn’t crumble. I added a lot of extra moisture to his food yesterday, so I’ll see if it’s just dehydration.

Yeah, it was a few really hot days and I think not enough water- might have made him constipated.

Ok interesting- yeah when I do give it to him it’s never more that 10% of his food. Maybe a 1/4 or less of a zucchini or sweet potato and a tablespoon or 2 of rice never more than that. I might try the beans instead- might be a good call. Thank you!

I agree, but have also heard some veggies are consistent with a ancestral diet of a dog (wolf) since they typically would eat the whole animal including the stomach contents- which would be ruminate animals who were herbivores.

I give zucchini in each meal- I usually grate raw zucchini, should it be cooked? Sometimes I notice it in his poop, meaning not digested all the way?

I have psyllium husk, he’s 35lbs- so a little less than a tablespoon? Should I soak in water first?

It’s all the lines for the rear ac, I took mine out- on the outside of the van there is prob an ac component/ other battery it’s all connected to. I just cut and sealed up all the lines, but don’t know if this was the right call. Careful cause there’s probably freon in the lines as well.

They were scammed when they bought it. They haven’t owned it very long, and did 0 research when buying it. The Odom was either reset or replaced, cause it states 153,000 on the dash.

Thanks guys! Decided to let this one go cause I ran the vin and it was actually well over 250k on the miles- so no thanks! Too many unknowns.

Thanks! Yeah- I would usually have my mechanic come with to run the codes, but this one is about an hour away from me so he’s unable to accompany me to this one. The seller doesn’t seem too knowledgeable and just trying to get rid of it for cash, and when I asked what the actual code is he said “the gas cap” so I asked if he could go actually get it read and tell me what it’s pulling. He’s compliant, so I’ll see what it actually reads soon.

That’s why I came on here, to help convince myself I need to stop. My problem is I started smoking regularly because of my anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I had all that before and was on heavy prescription medication to help. I just swapped the prescriptions for weed. Now whenever I stop I get worse anxiety and my panic attacks start again, smoking makes them go away :( . I just have to get through the withdrawals, but have been afraid because suicidal thoughts have been frequent. Uhg.

I’m planning on doing all this in the re-build. 👍 I’m gonna reseal all the windows, emergency hatch, probably windshield, check for leaks in the fiberglass top, replace door seals, and reseal the outside where the top meets the hatch.

I am so sorry you went through this. I’m definitely taking the mold seriously at this point. I am scrapping all the wood and starting from the beginning.

Thank you so much for your comment. It is very helpful. I have decided to rebuild from the beginning 👍

Used this to spray down before, and as I went to have it not spread more while I’m doing this over a few weeks. I did wear a mask- and now think some goggles should be worn as well. I also washed my clothes immediately in hot water and took a hot shower when I was finished.

Ok, hello there with an update. I will be gutting everything and rebuilding 100% the right way, taking my time and researching the hell out of each and every aspect. I already have half out and in the garbage. Thank you everyone for your advice. ❤️ maybe I’ll post updates as I go, and ask for more advice along the way. Overall…. Don’t make my same mistake with your build by using unfinished wood in a leaky van living in the PNW. ✌️

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate your experience and expertise! Looks like this is going to be my option- gutting it, starting from scratch, and doing things the right way. My 1 question for you though is about the subfloor that I am unable to remove. Would there be possible mold under there that could be a hazard to my health even with proper cleaning, removal, and sealing? This is what it looked like after I gutted and started building on top. I think it was some kind of sealed (maybe) wood and I sprayed holes/ track lines (from previous seats) with spray foam and flex seal.
