The vet never mentioned anything about food and as she has laranygeal paralysis all of her food is softened and I also cook a lot for her.<br />Because of the bitterly cold weather the vets thought this is why she developed this although she always wears a coat when going out and a wooly coat at bedtime. <br />When my dog has any biscuits they have to be softened first of all.<br />Hope you get this nasty problem sorted out.Judith Stephensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008632143615292951.post-9029567327839982013-03-31T06:30:01.828-07:002013-03-31T06:30:01.828-07:00A UPDATE ON LILLY.

Lilly has more energy than she ever has and I am working her out 3 times a day for a hour of ball or frisbee play and she has lost 2 lb in 2 weeks. She goes swimming twice a week. I am starting to move her over to the raw food but the vets aren't very helpful on that front as they do not understand raw feeding and they recommened for the dog to have biscuit with the raw food. They also gave me a lecture on meat being kept in the fridge and that causing it. I feel they are grasping at straws and not helping. They keep getting me in for visits they keep saying she has to come for and not even examining her but charging me near £30 a visit and me not getting any diet plan and haven't even weighted her!. I am keeping a full diary of her measurements of food daily, her weight weekly, her waist and chest measurements weekly and her daily exercise. Any other tips would be helpful and much appreciated.Claire McDnoreply@blogger.com
