NINA

[Tuckaboo Pam]

I gave everybody crushed pineapple for a couple of months. So, no MSG? I thought Accent was one of the recommendations.

I used to leave the poop & sprinkle cayenne pepper on the piles, but even that didn't seem to help.

The vet has a very handsome leather muzzle he put on Nina for her anal squeezing. Not at all Hannibal Lecter-ish. Good idea. Probably cuts down on the incessant barking at the neighbor's ducks, too.

QUESTION---Eggs? My dogs are going to eat kibble. Decent quality kibble, not top of the line, though. I also like to supplement their meal with something tasty & nutritious.

I have a good source for yard eggs, where the chickens are loose & they are fed good grain. More importantly, they are able to scratch.

At 82 pounds, how often can I feed Nina a boiled egg? I have read that dogs with pancreatitis should avoid them, but I know EPI is different.

I appreciate your help.---P

Eggs are fine. There's no fiber in eggs, and there's some nutrients. There is some calories to the yolk, so too much may cause weight gain. No calories to speak of in the whites. If you aren't worried about weight, there's no issues with giving an egg a day if you really wanted to. I do add eggs to every batch of food I make, but not that much. (It's the only ingredient I cook).

If you're worried about the fat in the egg just pmit the yolk.
Mickeys diet was 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 with white only, and cooked white macaroni all blended. Some green beans on the side.

Thanks, Jill. Your response is exactly what I was hoping for.

I will watch Miss Nina's waistline, as I give her a very nutritious boiled egg each morning. She loves them.---Pam

Lol agree! It has been passed down from Mickey that all I do is hit the boiled egg on the side of the sink and whatever 2 dogs I currently come running and promptly sit at attention!
