I so wish the raw chicken didn't gross us out so much, I was so much happier with their raw diet then the kibble but with 3 it's such a hassle.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-33614091155650564482008-08-16T15:38:00.000-06:002008-08-16T15:38:00.000-06:00Mr. Gomez (border collie mix) drinks water excessi...Mr. Gomez (border collie mix) drinks water excessively and also has a bit of OCD. I never asked the vet if he could have a problem ... I just sort of assumed he drank so much because he's a freak! He's also a really sloppy drinker--there's usually a big puddle around the water dish after he's visited.<BR/><BR/>Lucy, on the other hand, doesn't drink enough and her urine is usually concentrated whenever the vet checks it. One of the advantages of switching her to a raw diet is that it puts more fluids into her.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13396635060591062402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-75250149363214423092008-08-16T07:33:00.000-06:002008-08-16T07:33:00.000-06:00He's not quite extreme enough that I feel he needs...He's not quite extreme enough that I feel he needs drugs. I doubt a vet would prescribe it either, certainly not the vet I have now. I think we discussed it many years ago and agreed he didn't need it. He's 10 now and much improved over his younger days but he still has his moments and I'm supposing that as he gets older he's going to get weirder.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-22962870636149449542008-08-15T19:15:00.000-06:002008-08-15T19:15:00.000-06:00Devon has some OCD so we tried him on Prozac (whic...Devon has some OCD so we tried him on Prozac (which is cheap and safe) and it really works well.
