      We used to add this to Hex's food when we cooked food for him (we've since switched to Merrick canned food)

      If you want to try it, I can see if what I have left is expired.

        I think some of the raw foods are raw pasteurized. If that's the case, it shouldn't make him any sicker than if the kid ate regular dog food.

          @DougNg:

          Looks like my boy dog tore his ACL. Poor guy, he's limping really bad. Looks like surgery for him.

          sorry to read this.  is it a full or partial tear?

          head high, middle finger higher

              Looks like Hex completely tore his CCL, so he's going to get his shin bone resectioned and screwed together with a plate.

              Also he probably has a meniscal tear

              And he probably needs to have the groove for his patella deepened because it's out of whack.

              For a grand total of….$5300

              If any of you haven't looked into it, Embrace Pet Insurance is WONDERFUL

                      Hex came back home on Wednesday after TPLO surgery. He's got 12 weeks of recovery ahead of him.

                        Poor Hex - what a worry.  Great that the surgery is over and that he's home again, wishing him a swift recovery x

                          You guys must be so relieved he's back home, where you can support him in his recovery.

                            He's putting more and more weight on that injured leg every day.

                            The worry has been he's overloading the other back leg, which can cause his other knee to blow out too.

                            It's been a rough couple of weeks. Thanks everyone who's been concerned.

                              Apparently the Vikings took their cats with them when they went pillaging, according to a recent research into their DNA.

                              That probably explains a lot about Tiger the Cat Burglar. 😛

                              It also makes me think that this is way too appropriate…

                                        My feelings on pets are pretty simple- I like them, but I don't want any of my own.  However, my wife decided that we are going to test drive a dog.  So I know that unless she mauls one of the kids, Lucy is going to be moving in soon.

                                        Because I don't get a vote in this house.
