A Former Puppy Mill Dachshund
If anyone asks anyone volunteers with animal rescue the following picture is just one of the many reasons. We transported this former puppy mill sweetheart to her new adoptive home. (thanks to my wonderful sis for giving her a lift!)
She is now in the loving arms of her adoptive family, who couldn't resist her sweet personality, precious face & huge, sad brown eyes. Never again will she be forced to bear litter after litter of puppies or be starved for love & affection.
The message is clear - until there is none ....... rescue one.

The Wieners Are Going To A Wedding!
Well, they aren't really attending, but they are going to be in the general vacinity. We are off to daughter's nuptials tomorrow.
The kritters are staying in the hotel (pet friendly one, at that). So, hopefully they don't serenade the other hotel guests too loudly!
Fromm
After much research and reading, we have switched the kritters to Fromm. This particular variety is Chicken A La Veg. The kibble bites are much smaller than the Solid Gold and this is a chicken based food, as opposed to fish based.
I considered the vet's recommendation of the prescription Urinary SO diet, but the formula includes ground corn, which is not only a filler, but Oskar does not tolerate corn. And since all three will be eating the same formula, Fromm seemed like a wise choice.
Fromm utilizes ingredients like fresh sweet potatoes, apples, cranberries, cheddar cheese, & other fresh produce. It is recommened that a moist food of the same variety be added to the diet, so my pet food supply store is ordering a case in for us. We are adding an additional cranberry/blueberry powder supplement as well.
Xena has been prone to UTI's, so she should tolerate Fromm just fine. And Oskar, loves it - just because the kibble are smaller!!
My only small concern is the higher fat content of the diet, so have to watch their weight very closely.
I am happy to report that Schatzi is feeling much better & upon finishing her medication will undergo urine analysis.

Need Get Well Rays
During an emergency visit to the vet clinic this afternoon Schatzi underwent a thorough examination, urinealysis & ultrasound, where tests concluded yet another urinary tract infection, as well as inflammation in the lining of her bladder.
Schatzi is now home resting comfortably, with a round of antibiotics & pain medication. Our vet has also prescribed a diet of Royal Canin Urinary SO. (a food prescribed for dogs with or at risk of developing UTI).
