Kate, it's healthier for any dog to have their bowl elevated, maybe it's the bending down that is bothering her? Elevated bowls can be expensive, my BIL took one of those cheap plastic step stools and cut a hole to hold the bowl. Another thing you can use safely is Lil' Tummys, a baby product for gas. It's just symethicone (sp?) and can't hurt a thing. I hand fed Bogie for months when he was first dx'ed with diabetes, now Molly pulls this on me every so often! Brats! -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Kate 's message, "Update on Josie....
unfortunately going to the Vet was completely out of the question today..so we just kind of kept a close watch on her....She slept a lot Rick said but seemed to be resting comfortably....the gas seems to have gone away and she definitely had more perk to her...still not back up to her usual self, but definitely better than she was last night and even earlier this afternoon....
but the funny thing still is, she won't take the food of her dish...if Rick handed her some piece by piece she ate it, and then if he held the dish for her she gobbled it right down, but she refuses to take the food directly out of the dish while it's in the holder...now what on earth is up with that??!!!" on 8:13:09 pm, Thu, 07/12/07

Actually her bowl has been elevated, so I don't think that was/is the problem....who knows....
one thing though, she and I "played the game" this morning but tonight she seemed fine, a little finicky at first then she dug right in....one thing for sure, she is definitely back to her old self...she was outside with us earlier looking for sticks and running around a little..so she is definitely feeling better. Thank heavens!!! (NT) -- Kate, 9:35:27 pm, Fri, 07/13/07
