Patch is also doing well and putting on weight... He will go for tests to rule out any other illnesses so that we can move forward with getting him fully well.

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you everyone as always collective mine of information. I have spoken to Burns and they have asked for the batch number of the feed and a sample for testing. They are going to send me some samples to tempt them with. Tiggersmum Jed does still limp but it comes and goes, he is well in himself and has regular sessions with Helen Clarke Three Counties Canine Massage which definitely helps him. I also have him on Flexidin which seems to help as well. Jed has always been a fussy eater but Lottie could also be called Dyson with her food so I am going on the fact that she is not happy with this bag of food.

My Casey is a picky eater. He has never done well with Burns or other kibbles. We have most success with raw meat from TPMS although it's horrible stuff to handle. Recently we have tried Platinum dog food - we had some samples from the show in October and have now tried both dry and wet versions and he seems to enjoy it. It's only available on line but delivery is prompt and it's very high quality. If a hound could survive on scrambled egg and sausage, it would be much easier.

Hi Caro I've heard of dogs going off their food usually if the receipe changes but I'd guess Burns would have told you (they are a great, ethical company). You can add a little raw or cooked meat to it and see if he'd eat it of all mixed up tho if you add too much really yummy stuff he could prefer his treats and leave the complete 🙁 . Is he still limping? After all your vet checks you could try a McTimoney chiropractor too - they release tweaked muscles which (like with us) can cause pain and discomfort, if he's had a corn for a long time he would have probably compensated for that while walking and may need to be 'straightened up' 🙂 I use Wendy Lymer in Bromsgrove, she's been keeping my dogs healthy for years, has worked with a lot of Greys and has whippets herself - her no is 07790 464321. She'll need your vet to know that your taking him so I just call the vets and say I assume you have no objection having my dog checked out. xxx

Caro, my boys still loving their Burns, they are both good eaters, I'm sure Douggie is crossed with a Dyson the speed it gets eaten, we feed Pork & Potatoe Sensitive, maybe give that a try, hope you get it sorted soon xxxxxxx

Has anyone experienced their greys going off Burns recently? Jed has always been a fussy eater but not Lottie who usually inhales food but the last couple of bags they have both picked at. The pet shop haven’t had any feed back, mine have the Burns Alert lamb and rice they have always done really well on it not sure whether to start looking for another make or to just try a different flavour.

Poor Skip. No way does he deserve all of this :-(( Thank goodness he has caring and understanding ownwers who want to do everything they can to give him the best care possible. Hoping it’s quickly sorted and he gets the all clear so he can simply get on with enjoying his retirement as a much loved pet. Cuddles for Skip and virtual hugs for worried mum & dad xxxx

Thank you for your kind words Loveheart, as you know Archive wasn’t a Daybreaks boy but of our three he was the keenest to take part in the Stratford walks when he could. But I must say we have helped him over the last 11 months but he has never given up always his spirit has been there to help him fight, if ever we felt it wasn’t things would have been very difficult. Shani thanks for your support, will let you know how he is doing. Hugs to your boys. Xxx

Sending positive thoughts to you and Skip. He was the first dog I bathed when he came to Daybreaks, so I feel a connection with him. Hoping everything comes back as good news. Jo. Xxxx
