Again Mia is in hospital, fighting for her life. As a probable consequence of the high doses of steroids she has been on, which have been saving her life since the last terrible episode in the summer, she has now got severe pancreatitis and peritonitis and it's looking bleak...but she is a fighter, please spare us a thought tonight as the vets struggle to save her xx

Charlotte
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Charlotte's Mom & Dad... have you tried Alpha dried food? We had loose motions from Rosie for a month when she adopted us a year ago; she wasn't losing weight but it was soon evident that Burns pork & potato didn't agree with her tummy and rating her stools from 1 - 10 (sorry to anyone who's currently eating), when she was on Burns it was never more than a 3. Our neighbours who also adopted a Daybreaks greyhound, suggested we try Alpha (green bag) for sporting/working dogs. Cost is between £11-£14 for 15kg from Countrywide stores and it's been a real hit with Rosie and more recently Brae. They have a small amount soaked with each of their meals, along with whatever is on the 'Greys menu' that day i.e. weetabix, cooked chicken, cooked mincemeat, sausages, corned beef, potato, rice, pasta, veg. They seem to eat better than us! We don't give Rosie fish very often, as even tuna in spring water doesn't settle well, but Brae's tummy is more tolerant and she devours sardines in tomato sauce with no side effects. Hope this may help a little. Tash & John

Mel
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Come on folks I have met the lovely Mel on several occasions once at an Awarness Day when he behaved beautifully with both large, small dogs and young children. He also came on the Stratford walk and mixed really well with over 60 greyhounds, his age really is of no bearing he was more than able to keep up with everyone. Give him a chance you will not be disappointed.

I’m Homed
Hi Alan and Pam Edwina or should I say Lottie is doing very well, clean in the house, eating well and good at night. Jed is being very good no growls just a bit of a miffed face now and again particularly when she snuggles up to him on the cushion in the lounge and proceeds to some how get the biggest portion of it. The only issue which I am having to work on is her reaction to all the rabbits on the park, she tends to try and launch and she is one stong lady, my arm muscles are developing nicely! Lottie has been for a pamper at the local dog groomers and is going for a check at my vets tomorrow, she needs to gain some weight. So at the moment she is doing well.

So pleased to hear you have been able to help Charlotte with her eating problem and great news she has put some weight back on.

Their contact details can be found on the website, click on MORE alongside the event, or give us a call at the kennels. Sending a cuddle to your lovely girl tonight. Xxx

Charlotte
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Just want to say thank you for help and support. Some weeks after rehoming this lovely girl started to have problems with a loose stool. We could not figure out what the problem was. As we were growingly concerned about her weight we took her to the vet. We established that on pasta she was fine and returned to a normal stool. Of course this is not great food and Charlotte continued to loose weight. We tried to introduce back Burns with fish but did not that. So at the moment we are using Purina HA which she is fine with. We are now testing which food she does not tolerate. Sofar we established that pilchards in tomato sauce is a no. Dental treats she is ok with. This weekend we will test sardines on olive oil. Since she is on the new food she has gained back her weight has come out of her shell more, is naughty now and then and enjoys playing with her toys. I would like to thank the team at Perry Barr for continued support and advice. Also our home assessor also kept in touch and provided support. To all a big thank you from the three of us. We have noticed that Charlotte really enjoys meeting people. Everyone she meets dog or human enjoys her company. Whilst I am biased of course but I think Charlotte would be a great ambassador for Perry Barr and I am sure she would enjoy doing some 'road show' for you.

Kin is a big boy but also beautiful and strong. We met him when we were looking but he did not choose us was to fascinated by a small dog. I am sure him will find a loving home this beauty deserves that.
