Honest to DOG/GOD....our cat and two dogs are eating EVO and the cat no longer need prednisone for his auto-immune condition (vet can not explain why...but we know don't we!)....and our dog who was suppose to be a " midget " only making it to 35 pounds and HAD rickets I might add due to supposed neglect (we adopted him)...no longer has bowed legs and is 60 lb MOOSE! Did he have Celiac...we will never know! Our new puppy has never known the difference! We feed him " Innova EVO " too. Do a google search on feeding raw diets to your dog. Since the dog eats so similar to us....it is easy to feed a dog this way. Or buy this dog food (has potato so not truly SCD but better than the ones with all that darn grain) Go to www.naturapet.com<http://www.naturapet.com/> or call 1- for more info. When you switch him...go slow...the transition with a dog is similar to a human...can cause a shock to the system...as we all know well on this pecan list serve.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Antoinette, You make me smile/ laugh. Who ARE you? I want to meet you! You should write a book; adoptions, dogs, cats, kids! This list should have some kind of get together. Agape, Bunce wrote: Carol said: My dog was diagnosed with ITP which means she rejects her own blood platelets.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 > > Can pets (dogs and cats especially) get IBD? > The answer is yes. According to SCD listserve member Deborah (and her dog, Max), " Dogs are eating the same kind of commercial cr** we are, except perhaps even worse. " The link below contains some interesting links regarding this topic. > " src= " http://www.scdiet.org/images/blackarrow.gif " width=8 border=0> IBD in dogs and cats http://www.scdiet.org/4faq/dogsandcats.html > Canine IBD http://www.geocities.com/ibdogsintl/ Now back to humans! :-) Carol F.

The dog is twelve and things happen. The vet says this disease is common in older female dogs. Thanks for suggestions and support from both and Antoinette. The vet says he is confident the pooch will be fine. She is home and doing very well very happy to be back on Pecanbread as she sits beside under the computer desk. A loving pet is a real comfort!
