ALT Levels Revisited

UPDATE on the UPDATE!
I finally found some USA made raw hides, more bully sticks for a pretty decent price and another digestible bone that was a little less expensive, but the pet shop said it was good. I also got the black, super kong. I put his food with peanut butter in it and threw it in the freezer for a few hours. He seems to like it! We'll see how he does tomorrow with the new kind of raw hide!


UPDATE From Sidka's Mum:
It was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find raw hides that were not overseas. So, we decided to finally try bully sticks. Man, Sid goes through those FAST, FAST, FAST and they're expensive...So we also got the edible Nyla Bones that are completely digestable. Both Sidka and Josie love them. We have to get Sid the souper size (!) and Josie the regular size (versus petite, she went through that too fast!). So, I tend to think they're not as...durable as I'd like. I like them, but also expensive, so they're limited. Raw hides lasted so much longer for Sid...but no USA rawhides to be found so far! Any suggestions?

We might try another, super, super, super tough (the black, I think) kong with frozen something or other inside it. Anyone else have powerful chewers that need to be crated for 4-6 hours a day? What do you leave with them?

We're hoping to eliminate any raw hide that does not come from the US and that way, his ALT levels may go down. If not, Sidka might get Marin.


If that helps enough by May 24th or so, Sidka will get his vaccines that are due by May 28th. If not, we'll see!!

Ugh. Girls

I'm not sure about this whole girl thing.
All of a sudden, there's all kindsa pinks. All kindsa purples.

ALT Levels

Hello Every Dog,
My ALT levels, those pesky liver enzymes, are still pretty high. Dr. Bennington said my ALT levels should be around 120 at the highest. The first time they poked me and took blood my ALT was 254. They put me on that hot dog treat, I mean...penicillin, twice a day and then mom brought me back and they poked me again. This time, my ALT levels were 249. So they went down, but not as much as Dr. Bennington would have liked, especially in two weeks time.

Dr. Bennington says it could be the raw hides mom and dad have been giving me....so Mom threw out ALL my raw hides and she said she's going to get me special ones tomorrow (ones that are from the USA only).

Does any dog know much about ALT levels? Do Eskie's tend to have liver problems?


UPDATE From Sidka's Mum:
It was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find raw hides that were not overseas. So, we decided to finally try bully sticks. Man, Sid goes through those FAST, FAST, FAST and they're expensive...So we also got the New(ish?) Nyla Bones that are completely digestable. Both Sidka and Josie love them. We have to get Sid the colossal size (!) and Josie the regular size (versus petite, she went through that too fast!). I like them, but also expensive, so they're limited. Raw hides lasted so much longer for Sid! Any suggestions?

Newturd....

Hi every dog! I'm bacckk! Mommy brought me home just a few minutes ago from being newturd. Like someone here said, it was like a little nap...cept I had to stay there all nights! How come no one told me mommy leave me there for a whole nights?

The doctor said my liver enzymes are still really high. But mommy and daddy wanted me to get that chip and be newturd, so the doctors check other liver things and let me take that nap. Mommy has to keep me on the walking leash when we go outside, instead of the lead. She'll do that for 10 days. I want to jump and play, but mommy says no. So I'm writing this, then I'm going to take a nice pig ear into my crate and take another naps.

Only 2 more days until Josie is here!

Josie got me! She's not even moved in yet and she remembered to do Rabbit Rabbit before me!!
Does every dog remember what rabbit rabbit is?! In our house it is a tradition for the first day of every month--the first person, or doggy that says RABBIT RABBIT gets a kiss from everyone in the house....so....yeah......I have to kiss Josie.

But now I tag Comet and Blu, Lorenza, Hana and Zak!!
