SassyGirl

My mom is dying.She has an 11 year old tan and white Welsh corgi, cute but quirky...Love her lots anyways!!!

She suffers from IBS and the groomer claims she has a food allergy.My mom was brought down here and I am going to get her little companion. Does anyone have any advice.The dog has had a cone on her head for 2 yrs now to stop her from chewing on her 2 front paws. The vets in the U.P. of Michigan said she did it to get a buzz..OK ya sounds dumb to me to but they said oh after the surgery it would stop it hasn't!! Any advice on a good quality food I can give this dog and any ideas about the paw thingy...I need advice Please

Thanks

Gayle

She was diagnosed with IBS 2 yrs ago, in Michigan we have an upper and lower peninsulas my mom lived in the upper close to Cananda, the vet said it sent endorphins off in her head like a stimulant, and yes Sassy is a very very "FLUFFY" little old lady she could stand to drop some of her fluffiness. She was eating Proplan then they moved to the u.p. and they didnt sell it so mom feeds her beniful My dog eats proplan but Pearl is a mixed breed..I want to do the right thing for Sassy and my mom has never taken her on walks as she has 10 acres of fenced in yard to go to.....Thannks for all the advice I keep ya'll posted!!

As far as Sassy goes, both of our Corgi's have alergies big time. We put them on a non-grain diet for a month and then our vet did the blood draw to determine exactly what they are allergic to. We are currently giving both of our kids shots of serum to build up their ammune system to the things they are allergic to. It seems to be working very well. Last year by this time our little girl had chewed her feet raw. She is highly allergic to maple, elm and cottonwood trees. Guess what we have in our back yard. Anyway, the first thing I would try is dry food without any grain in it. If there is anything else I can offer up drop me a line.
