@ aura_bell thanks. Our vet uses science diet. Which I'm sure will be what's going to be fed to him but in canned. I've looked @ blue buffalo. Have read that it doesn't agree with some dogs tummys. But every one is different.

I'm sure you'll find the right fit. Finding a good food is trial and error. I've been to the end of the world and back looking for a quality chow that won't leave me homeless. I've even done the BARF or raw diet for a while, but couldn't handle the smell coming from my dogs ;)

@judykaytee and aurorabell... duke is home and TRYING to eat us out of house and home. They had to go into the intestines to remove the squeaker. So he has a incision from below the rib cage to the top of his little penis. But is holding every thing down and WANTING to eat constantly!! We still have to feed several small meals a day until at least the end of the week. He is back to his ever little fiesty self!! Looks like he is on the mend. He doesn't get the stitches out until the first of next week. Thank you AGAIN for all the help and info. I will pass it along when needed too.

I am SO happy for you both - good news I'll be smiling all afternoon.

You are SO lucky to have each other!

Thank you so much for the update! Just remember to choose a quality chow and NO table scraps! :) Glad to hear he is on the mend.

Thank you again. I am so grateful for the info.

I do hope you'll stick around AMHD. You can probably offer some advice from a personal standpoint, very possibly from what you've learned as well as giving hope to people who just don't know where to turn when their animal is sick.

Sometimes just knowing someone has "been there" is sooooo helpful.

Got that right. I am also on Facebook. And I have been on several forums to get the word out there about the dangers of dog toys. So do pass that along for me as well.especially after mine swallowing the darn thing whole!! I will be around from time to time. Or look me up on fb!! Yes he likes to stand on the steering wheel and he even blows the horn!!

Now if you could teach him to vacuum -

CCJ, I'm going to remove your personal info, thanks for sharing it, but this is world wide site, you just don't know who is lurking out there! :)

K. No prob. I don't send out or accept friend requests unless I know you or trust who you are. We are very cautious,because we have teens in our house. I have taught then to be cautious as well. Can never be too careful.

I'm a better safe than sorry kind of gal! Come join in on some of chat threads if you have time! Just jump on it, be cautioned, they move fast! :)
