Well here's big ears... this is the only o ne she stayed still enough for me to be able to take. My little bony beauty :-)
We're still continuing with the Tylan - 1/4th tsp once a day. Will attempt to restart the dog food - slowly. I got back this ginormous bottle of Salmon Oil tablets for Mahi - 400 in one bottle! We were finding it very difficult to find Salmon oil here in India. I'll keep you all updated about how we get along with all the tweaks - fingers crossed that we are getting back on track - again! Michele - no Mother Nature event took place in Perth - unless you count a record breaking summer. I went from snow to MELT and back to snow - lol. Cheers Devika | |

Mahi should rebound, you're already tweaking & seeing improvements.

Welcome home Devika! The pictures of your trip are breathtaking! Since increasing the Creon dose is not an option, I think that is an excellent idea on your part to use a combination approach of the Creon and the Enzar Forte to increase the enzyme intake with each meal. All paws crossed you see the benefit of that change with the pretty Mahi gaining a few pounds. | |

Anyhoo, fabby pictures of a place I've even yet to go. Oddly enough I almost went this month but the stars didn't quite align. Next time you come for a visit I hope you do some travelling eastward too. Sorry that Mahi has had a blip, I'm sure you'll get her back on track. I'd be tempted to pop her back on the Tylan at least until things start to go in the right direction particularly since you're always forging new ground with her diet. Jean's right, reestablish that baseline and tweak away, all wil be well, these dog's are resilient, they bounce back fatser than we realise.
Lulu is super-smart, a bit plump and very pretty (everybody says so - including her!).
