Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 My dogs get chicken, pork, turkey, fish and rabbit. They also get eggs, kefir, liver, kidney, heart, tripe, gizzards, and anything else I can find. I would give them even more variety if I had access to it. Variety is the key! Their supplements include fish oil, vitamin E and B-complex. They dine on poop from wild animals in the woods, and are particularly fond of rabbit poop - YUM :-) I don't think they actually catch and eat anything in the wild - although they certainly try....... and the K9's I don't do pork either.. my dogs get rabbits on their own.. don't do turkey either.. I figure they might get a bird here and there in the pasture... with any luck they could one day catch a wild turkey...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 [>>>>>] Those sound like sebaceous gland cysts. Totally harmless and filled with skin oil. Sometimes they get so large as to get caught on things and bleed or become infected and then you should have them cut off. Otherwise, they are very benign and very common esp in older dogs and certain breeds, I don’t remember which breed though. I am thinking labs and retriever’s might have been a couple. Carol in IL ok good, big dogs. Just wondering if we are comparing apples to oranges, so to speak. Are these age spots raised? flat? what color? The ones that my dog has look like little warts, raised and kinda milky color. She seems to be getting quite a number of them.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 My dog is a 3.75yo female Golden Retriever. Raw fed from the day we brought her home at 7wo. Dogs are not further from the wolf....their DNA is about 98% of a wolf's DNA and they are carnivores, with the ripping and tearing teeth necessary to eat meat and bones. We have bred dogs that have a structural problem with this (e.g., pugs), but the digestive system is the same. s is an auto-immune disease, IMHO primarily caused by over vaccination. Warts are caused by a virus. You might want to try the homeopathic remedy Thuja on them. I would take a 6x pellet from Standard Homeopathic (because they are made on milk sugar and dissolve instantly in water) and make a paste of it and put it on the wart. I would also give Thuja 30C internally, one or two doses. There is also a remedy in the files either here or at Herbal_Remedies of putting sliced garlic on them, but that might be difficult on a dog. Sharyn From: KLSIRDDOGS@... [mailto:KLSIRDDOGS@...] What breeds of dogs are we talking about Suzi? I wonder if it is true that the further the dog is from the wolf, the harder time they have digesting (any kind of food) therefore the higher case of allergies also. I don't have problems with allergies or digestion. Just at times as in right now my oldest is having a time of it. She is the one that I switched back to raw 2 weeks ago when she got the mouth problem. Did I tell ya'all that my neighbors dog was poisoned and it died a week later? She took him to the Vet every day and he lost the battle. That was the same time frame as my dogs problem. My gut feeling is that my dog had a bee sting/spider bite, but... still very scary. My dog may have been big enough and healthy enough to fight off something the school kids gave the dogs or... The neighbor's dog was a small poodle, probably about 10-15# and had addisons disease also. What causes warts to grow in various spots on a dog? My oldest keeps getting new warts all over her body. I know it is not "normal" so I need to figure out what is causing them. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Pigment discolourations on doggie tummies can indicate thyroid disease. It's usually manifests as darker blobs. and the K9'I recently read, (was it on this list?), that age spots on a human mean a nutritional deficiency. Might this not be true of dogs with similar skin discolorations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
