DAY 11

We are well into our second week and while things have gone relatively well it has not all been plain sailing. 

For some reason, every so often Kodi seems to have a short bout of nausea,  just a bit of gagging and a little bit of drooling but distressing when it happens notheless. This could be due to the foul taste of the medicine. A big part of the treatment is the detox and we are trying to go by the book. The treatment every two hours requires that both of us are hands on (one to hold him still and the other to squirt the liquid into his mouth) so planning everything else around this is quite a feat.

I had to clean my stove today and bicarb and vinegar just wouldn't do the job. Fortunately I have an outside trough so hubby took apart everything he could and I  cleaned it outside well away from the dogs.  Rinsed thoroughly and then cleaned again with the vinegar and bicarb to remove any chemical traces and allowed to dry off in the sunshine.

The homemade kibble (pellets) are a huge success.  They are a bit easier on the pocket and also we have the satisfaction of knowing that everything in them is healthy and nutritious with no preservatives.  They will also assist with weight control as our dogs are far too plumtious! They keep well in the freezer. (Recipe posted in an earlier blog)

All three dogs seem happy and contented on their radically different diet and they finish their bowls. No more waste.

Happy blogging...
Best wishes
