Good luck!
Thank you Jan.. I appreciate the reply.. I was beginning to think I was invisible
I wonder why some are so dead set on feeding vegetables. I fed my 2 boxers raw with bones and offal for 3 yrs, and even the bloodwork showed they were in excellent health. But now I've had some get on my case about not feeding veggies.. telling me I am wrong.. The vet was quoting the guy that wrote the original barf diet.. and says veggies are important.
It's just frustrating.. I liked things the way I did them for 3 yrs.. it worked for us.
But with Rooster now, well.. I don't know what to think about him. I guess only time will tell.. He will have a ultra sound on Monday, so perhaps they will find some answers.. I pray they do..
Thank you again.. I very much appreciate your input.
