Thyroid

Hey Benny, stick with the meds and hope for awesome results in 6 weeks   xoxo

I think the meds will help a lot one of my first pugs pugsly was on thyroid pills from the time he was 10 till he was 16 and a half it helped him a lot

Oh Benny, you look so sweet. I hope they can get your meds adjusted accordingly!

Tessa~Wow! So happy to hear little P is doing better. What a sweetie.

Hope Luna and Henry are doing alright. QP too!

Pug Hugs from Bella & me

Tessa, glad little P is recovering.

FYI the ONLY Wellness pet food recalled was for large breed puppy 15 and 30 lb. bags, plus 5 oz. sample.  best by January 9 through January 11, 2013. No other Wellness food was recalled.  Most of the Wellness Pet food is manufactured in Mishawaka, Indiana.  Wellness no longer buys any products from Diamond Foods. So unless you bought the large breed puppy in the sizes mentioned above and the best by dates listed abovr, you are safe.  I have fed Wellness for years and I trust their company.

Corrine, thyroid problems must abound in dogs (and humans).  Georgie is on thyroid medication as was my friend’s lab.  We thought it funny that she and I, and her dog and my dog all were on thyroid meds.  Guilt by association, I guess.

If our babies have to have a problem, this one is not too terrible a one.  I was holding my breath when I saw Benny’s leg.

Tessa, yea for little P, yea for you.  So glad it’s turning out okay.  It’s like our life stops when we have a worry over our little guys (and girls).

Sue VDB, I’m glad you knew the parameters of the Wellness food recall.  I think it’s a fine product and one to be trusted.  I have switched from the Supermix to Core in the hopes of alleviating a potential allergy problem for Georgie that might have a basis in grain fed food.

I had a scare with Gracie on Tues. (you know the kind where your blood runs cold).  I was sitting at the table and giving the ‘kids’ a bite of cheese, except that Gracie looked as if she was ready to pass out.  Her head sank onto the floor, she seemed as if she was leaving and I quickly ran through possibilities as I was calling the vet.  He had just walked in the door (it was 5:45 wouldn’t you know) and I couldn’t get him anything to go on as far as what the problem might be.  She did lick the piece of cheese he said to offer her.  He wondered if she’d been out in the yard (possible bee sting, etc.) and she had.  Then she slowly started coming around and he probably thought I was a too anxious parent, but that didn’t matter.  I kept an eye right on her for the next hour and she returned to the land of the living.  Have no idea what had caused the problem but these things do seem to happen and we don’t know why.  She’s fine now and has returned to “pain in the butt” status.

Huckle, what a scare.  I’m glad Gracie is back to herself, and I know you will keep a close eye on her.

As far as the Wellness goes, or any food I give my babies, I do a lot of research.  I want to be as informed as possible, and do my dardest to give them the best.  The fact that Wellness immediately pulled their large breed puppy food that was affected, and quit buying from Diamond Foods, plus do testing, allows me to trust them.

I was thinking the same thing: that Benny’s boo-boo needed to be elevated!  Made me giggle.
And Huckle, that made my blood run cold and I was just reading about sweet Gracie.  So glad that she is back to normal.

Hope everything will be okay hugs to this sweet boy.
