Just a quick update. So far after vet visits and lots of money spent we still have no clue what the heck is wrong with poor Jake. All his tests came out great and there doesn't seem to be a blockage. His "episodes" vary... some days he's good. Others, well, let's just say, thank God for the...

Ok so now... what constitutes a "raw" diet?

Just wanted to give and update... Took Jake to the new vet. After much poking and prodding; questions and discussion and samples of blood and urine - so far I know this: Jake has lost 5 pounds in the last 6 months (not good); there doesn't seem to be a blockage; tests came back good with the...

Taking Jake to a new vet this afternoon. The first question I was asked was "has he ever been tested for allergies?" THIS is why I'm taking him to a new place. Poor little guy. Thank you all for your kind words and very very helpful advice. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.  

Most of the time its partially digested food... although since last night it's not digested at all. I guess he doesn't like the pricey blue buffalo (this stuff is supposed to be limited ingredient). He keeps going to the bowl to eat so I know he's hungry but he just throws it back up. His...

I feel so helpless. He just threw up three times AGAIN. Poor little guy. He's got nothing left. I'm taking him to a different vet tomorrow. This is ridiculous. I hope to get some sort of resolution from someone new since the vet he's been going to since day one has come up with nothing. Neither...

My poor Jake is just about 10 years old and in general good health. However, he vomits alllll the time (God bless the Bissell Spot Bot). I have taken him to the vet and he says he's just fine... he's been poked and prodded and xray'd - there are no blockages, no fevers and he seems ok. Jake is...

I took all your advice and changed the dry food to "The Goodlife Recipe - Indoor" and so far so good! They both love it and Jake seems to be improving! I don't want to jink him but he seems to really be doing much better. And they both LOVE this food! I know I'm not out of the woods yet and I...

Jake is 9. The vet said he didn't feel anything wrong and the xray came up ok so he didnt see a blockage (I saw the xray too - except for feces in his colon jake was clear). The full blood work came out ok too. But I didn't know plastic doesn't show up on an xray! Jake doesn't eat it so much...

Wow! Thanks for the great and very quick feedback! There are no plants, garbage or anything on the floor for him to get into and he is soley an indoor boy. He likes to lick plastic bags and I had the vet check for some sort of blockage --- there was none (whew!). Actually have NOT changed the...

Oh! Please help! Bear with me.. it's kind of gross but I don't know what to do. My poor baby Jake is vomiting alllll the time. It's not "normal" vomit ("chunky" food or hairballs). It is primarily mostly digested food and bile. And it's happening allll the time. I took him to the vet three...

Yeah - I was pretty freaked out worrying about how the 'puds would adapt. But they settled in nicely and now run around like maniacs! The funniest thing is watching them slide on the hardwood floors!!!

Here's a pic of the house!

Hi! I just wanted to thank everyone for their wonderful advice. I learned a lot and it was all so very helpful. The move went great - we moved in officially on my birthday (Dec 16th) after two weeks of cleaning, preping and slowing moving small stuff back and forth. I think I was stressing...

That's a very valid point. Thank you! Unfortunately, hubby is adament about the basement. I think once there's an "accident" or three, he might be a little more open minded! As far as forgetting about it, that will never happen. I'm TOTALLY PARANOID about a stinky house (have a family member...

Hmmm.. that's the thing - I need to pick a place now and stick with it. or maybe I could just teach them to use the toilet!

Apparently, I speak German in my sleep.

I don't think the "kids" are going to know what to do with all the extra SPACE!

WOW! Thanks everyone for the great advice! I think it's going to take an "accident" for another box to be intorduced.

Future? Active?
