Thanks for the reply guys. There kibble poops are equally as hard as the raw poops. Unfortunately I had to switch to kibble because of cost. Had a child and had to make some changes to my expenses.
Jan makes sense as there bottoms are a little plump. I’ll try the meaty bone if the pro biotics...
Rex is almost 5 and Trixie is around 3. The problem came out of nowhere. They express their glands with vowel movements too. I ordered a pro biotic and some fiber to add to meals. Hoping this helps.
However rex and Trixie are both overweight so I’m wondering if this has to do with it. I’ve...
Haven’t posted in awhile, been a busy last 12 months for me.
In the last 6 months Rex and Trixie have both developed an anal gland problem. Their sacs are full and they’ve been expressing them on the furniture and in their crates.
They are not infected. Their stools are firm(sometimes too...
I just gave her another bath after I got off work and it greatly helped. So we’re back to the same smell level to before today’s incident thankfully. The natures miracle seems to help after the skunk has had time to sit for a few hours.
I live on 5+acres in a rural area so unfortunately...
I used tomato paste. Baking soda and dawn. Peroxide and shampoo. All in the same hour long bath and she still smells. I used the same on myself and I still smell.
I think imma have to wait this one out. However Trixie has lost all off leash potty privileges in the morning because of this. Lol
Trixie and myself got sprayed again this morning. FML. The natures miracle did not help that much. But I assume because they previous odor was still there. However this time I got a lot of the skunk oil on my face. It’s horrible
Thanks for the info! After this post i grabbed some of the natures miracle skunk off and it greatly helped. Still a slight odor but it’s bearable.
And thank goodness rex didn’t get it. His fur is longer than trixies and he doesn’t like baths. So it would of been horrible trying to bathe him...
How long did the smell last on Kaiser? Had the misfortune this morning at 4am of Trixie and myself being sprayed. Used baking soda and all the suggested stuff. However we both still smell like burnt rubber.
I have the E-Collar technologies ET-800 receivers and the PE-900 transmitters and I’m very happy with them. You can program 2+ Receivers to one transmitter. 100 different stim levels. Vibrate along with a tone. The ones I have are waterproof and have a 3/4 mile range. I’ve attached photos for...
I recommend switching to an all life stages food. I highly recommend natures logic. When I can’t feed raw due to time etc. I use natures logic beef or duck salmon. For me there’s not transition time when I switch from raw. No noticeable change in bowel movements.
I feed raw 9-10 months out of the year. Then feed Natures Logic for December and January. I don’t do a transition and have never had any GI upset issues with natures logic.
I took in a similiar rescue in January. She was mistreated, beat, underweight and pretty much everything you’ve described. As I work full time I had her go to a board and train. It was helpful in building her foundation.
these are some things that worked for us.
crate and rotate both dogs...
Rex taught Trixie how to open doors. It’s quite obnoxious. They both open the bedroom the door in the morning after morning potty and bombard mom as she’s still sleeping. El oh el
-should I feed separately? Yes (however you can work up to feeding at the same time. However I prefer to feed separately as I clean up their poop right after)
-feed different rooms? no
-who gets food first? Does it matter? I rotate
-crate aways from each other? no. Next to each other...
