Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thank you, Katy, for your prayers. We need all the help we can get :-) The dog has no fleas and her environment can't be any cleaner than it is, her food can't get any more natural, all water she is given is filtered and the same water I drink. She is walked daily, long walks, sometimes twice, and gets one on one attention out in the yard in the form of play at various intervals each day that equal at least 2 hours or more. She came to us at approx 6 weeks and within 2 days I noticed the urinary problem, which the vet diagnosed at UTI. When we did some checking, we found out the woman that sold my daughter the puppy had the mother and litter under her front porch, which of course was all dirt. I believe the mother had the pups in an old plastic swimming pool. This pup was the runt of the litter. The owner fed the puppies Puppy Chow, I believe, or some other very cheap brand like that.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010  I'm sorry but her food can get cleaner. Take away the dried. Even if it's a "good" brand, it is not a natural food for dogs. Start reading up on the BARF diet. It's all about raw meat and bones. Or search out a woman name of Nora Lenz. She's in my area of Washington state and very knowledgeable of feeding pets raw. And she's been all raw herself for a number of years. I'm saying a prayer for the pup as well.
