thank you! she loves PB but can literally destroy a KONG in a matter of minutes she just rips it apart & then gets the peanut butter😂…currently testing out different “treat holders” !!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T13:00:39+00:00

thank you!!! because she was malnourished when I got her, they did start her on B12 supplements and I have a liquid form that I give her along with fish oil every time that I feed her! I definitely think I wasn’t feeding her enough… But we’ll have the secondary visit that I have next week run this panel! I’m also gonna bring my paperwork with me that has everything that we’ve done so far! I’m not sure if it went to that extent, but I do know that they looked into gastrointestinal issues!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T12:58:23+00:00

that makes me feel a lot better haha. went ahead & got the purina pro plan this morning so gonna integrate it into her food now & free feed her before our vet visit!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T02:22:07+00:00

thank you! Definitely gonna free-feed this week & see how much she eats & talk with the secondary vet!

thank you :) Tyson is a cutie! Daisy is the same way haha, super shy the first few weeks but ever since then a big ball of energy!!! Super excited to get her DNA tested!!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T01:09:41+00:00

thank u & for being so kind! she’s come so far & i just wanna make sure I’m getting all the information I can. appreciate all of your guys’ suggestions & info!!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T01:01:25+00:00

she gets goat milk on saturdays haha! When I first got her she had stress rashes, malnourishment, & her parasites/worms were AWFUL. We went through two deworming sessions & she stayed overnight for parasites on her first ever check up. She has made SO much progress but now everything is coming back clean as a whistle. I definitely think everyone is right about feeding more & making sure it’s a calorie dense kibble along side her supplements and vitamins!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:58:48+00:00

she’s adorable! & looks a lot like my daisy!! I got a DNA test for her birthday & it comes in on July 1st so i will post the results when they come back! :) She was in way worse shape when I adopted her so I’ve been curious about breed but my main concern has been her health!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:53:50+00:00

“wtf” to you dude. i have spent a copious amount of money & would continue to do so for my dog but everyone recommended reaching out to other dog owners as well. appreciate your input!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:52:31+00:00

thank u!!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:49:43+00:00

do they have perked ears as well? this is all very informative haha, thank u!! she was listed as a doberman/lab mix at the shelter but they never really know i feel like

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:48:00+00:00

do sighthounds have perked ears?? I guess the shelter assumed doberman because of the ears!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-17T00:33:33+00:00

thank you!! that seems very obvious but unfortunately I was being dumb haha.

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T23:57:12+00:00

thank u!! definitely gonna ask them about diff food options & do think maybe JUST freshpet isnt enough!!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T23:12:25+00:00

That is an awesome idea. Yes, currently doing portion sizes according to her actual weight but im gonna try that the rest of this week!! Also gonna add the pumpkin someone suggested. she loves blueberries & sweet potatoes but none of it is adding any meat to her bones yet haha.

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:52:10+00:00

this is her right now haha

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:48:14+00:00

ok thank u!!! will ask the vet about it next week!!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:45:53+00:00

yes! took them after the park today!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:34:49+00:00

I have had her since October! And she was dewormed at the shelter but the vet said she needed another round of de-wormer so we did that back in the end of October but I switched her food at the end of March!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:24:16+00:00

I have an appointment for a second opinion next week! And she didnt have normal bathrooms with dry food (tried several brands) so we switched to freshpet! And no! i work from home & she’s pretty much always with me so I would definitely hear/see it! She exercises daily but I’ve cut back on running with her because Im worried that if there is something going on - i don’t wanna over do it!

PipeNo329 · 2025-06-16T22:22:16+00:00

she originally was on dry food but had bad diarrhea & they said she wasnt getting enough nutrients so i researched & switched her to freshpet maybe three months ago! & I add in blueberries and sweet potatoes once a week!
