Can't resist to post some of the photos of my 2 and a 1/2 retrievers. I'm a big big big GR fan. In reply to one of the queries of how to manage GR's fur, vacuum the house everyday and comb them with slicker comb often to remove the loose dead hairs. Hahah.. long time no hear from you ehheeh... Miss your hunter lah....

QUOTE(angelicia55 @ Aug 31 2006, 09:02 AM) i am in sarawak, miri area. the previous et my GR went to.. is an *******... the kind that wanna suck up ur money.. so i dun know if i really should trust what he says... he's the one that says my GR needs steroid injection. the vet my GR currently is visiting only advise me to give him chondroitin and Glucosamine.. his hind legs seems to have improved since i brought him back. but still.. his hind legs only has skin on his bone.. no muscle... and i doubt that is normal?? i treid to search the web about steroid injection in canines.. it says will have side effect.... so am worried and wonder if my GR really needs a steroid injection.. when i first brought him back, he did not eat anything.. he did not wanna eat anything... i thought he was homesick.. so i brought him to the vet to cehck him out.. turns out, he's sick.. down with fever.. so no appetite... after eating the medicines... he's fine now... right now.. he's on eagle pack's kibble for large breedpuppy. eats twice a day.. for dinner i mix his kibbles with da canned meaty thingee.... he finishes it... he's more plump now.. but still.. has no muscles on his hind legs.. i worry that if he gains his weight back..his hind legs cannot support his body weight.. errr... how??? please help... Steroids will have really bad side effects... Like what anarchist said, bring your dog swimming. The excercise from swimming is mild to weak joints but great for muscle building. It has less impact than jogging or running and swimming is good for the heart as well.

From my dad's point of view... ProFormance is good for large breed dogs... it's a super premium brand... erm... can't remember the price loh but it should be Rm130 plus...
Nutriedge is about Rm135 for adults.... I'm not sure about puppies...

I really think you should avoid the steroids thing.... coz steroids that are used to build muscle in humans causes liver disease and heart attacks and strokes.... you won't want that to happen to your dog rite? Don't take easy way out, just let him eat more proteins like fresh meat, not sausage coz sausages have preservatives and more salt than burgers.... give him fresh chicken and lamb, increase his daily activity with mild short walks and take him for swimming.

QUOTE(simchi @ Sep 6 2006, 05:25 PM) what do you think about minced beef ? my girl loves it alot , and i've started giving her fresh minced beef + chicken necks(this thingy is hard to get in seremban wet market) + kidney(occasionally) and some veggie pulp + and kibbles . trying to switch her diet gradually . and mouse , where do you bring your all your babies for a swim ? and one thing , my girl is in heat (i think, not sure) , and she climbs here and there , superbly hyperactive , and EAT more than usual , even snatches my food . all these are normal or what ?  Wahhh... good good. Get some liver and heart also as it is good too. Beef is good but yesterday I chatted with my friend that beef and chicken is ok but lamb is the best for skin and fur.. so once a while maybe give a bit of lamb, it can improve skin and fur condition. Oh, I have never brought my dogs swimming yet... coz no place for them to swim in. A few have told me go real early to templer's park or any ponds and let our dogs swim there... but I can't wake up that early eheheh... On heat, her private part will swell, she will lick and clean herself more... also she can become more manja, wants more attention so maybe your dog is snatching food coz of that heheh...

QUOTE(mooscar @ Sep 6 2006, 09:03 PM) huh.... mine 1 is just 4 mth old only, cannot take adult food.... fren recommend me to take royal k9, is it good? Hahah... it's Royal Canin... not canine... well, RC is very fattening... if your dog eats royal canin, he might not want to eat other brands again coz it is high in fat and also taste very good to dogs. NurtiEdge got puppy formula, it's called Stage 1, then 1 to 3 years old called Stage 2 and 3 years above eat Stage 3....

QUOTE(simchi @ Sep 6 2006, 09:08 PM) I tried feeding her chicken liver with kibbles , she picked only those kibbles but not the liver . I will let her try some pig hearts once she's fully switched to BARF. how much does your lab eat ? my girl is binge-ing , does it have anything to do with the HEAT ? or she's a 'lap sap tung' ? Wah! First time I heard a dog don't like liver.... even I like ah heheheh.... Well, slowly. My dogs love liver and heart. Hmm... my lab eats 2 cups of kibble a day.... we offer her a handful of raw meat, about 100g only coz feed 4 dogs raw meat can PK hehehe.... all labs are lap sap tung long... but when dog's on heat... hmmm... I can't really tell if got good appetite or not coz my lab already spayed for the pass 5 years... then my cavalier female only heat once... so can't compare hehehe...

QUOTE(simchi @ Sep 8 2006, 11:35 PM) she looks good ...and the body is well proportioned . light colour looks cleaner mah. Anyway I bought my girl from this man , I asked him about the girl's birth date ..he told me it's on 13th/nov/2005 ...but the cert clearly stated that she was born on 6th/dec/2005 ....so the girl is probably more than 9 months and less than 10 months ..or ????!!!???!!! pictures , I brought fala to eat M .   Hahah... that's why my mom likes, looks clean hhaha.... Aiyoh, maybe he forgot when the pup was born... or register late... it could happen. Fala looks real good. She got nice head hehehe.... Some say Tammy's muzzle a bit too sharp... well, I know my Tammy not square head loh hehehe...

Square... bulk him up with some protein le heheh.... he will sure grow super nice. Well, males are always nicer with bigger head than females. Did you check bout the bald spot? It could be mild mange.... or fungus... once my boxer had bald ear edges... so we applied antibiotic cream and it healed... can try lah maybe fungal cream.

Ohhh... then it could be fungal lah.... something mild. So neem soap should work. Last time my cat got bad fungus case, no need jab, took 2 weeks of pills and later all gone... summore only cost Rm20 for checkup and the pills... some vets not honest and they go on charging or giving something that you really don't need hahaha...
Your GSD mix is so beautiful! Longish fur, nice!
Maybe you can mix the food? Innova Evo has the highest protein... over 40% protein! Maybe you can mix it inside the NurtiEdge food...
