And for puppies and/or elders that have problems holding their urine… you can get pads at Drugstore.com that are for adults (people) for really reasonable price compared to the ones sold in pet stores... and I find no difference in them.. and you can get bigger sizes... I use them on my bed (along with the waterproof fitted sheets) for my elders that have problems with holding their urine over night and if they forget to wake up and go out will have accidents... I ordered them from drugstore.com and didn't have to pay tax or shipping.....search for bedding protection under incontinence

She is doing WAYYY better but not fully healed. I want to go trail walking with her again since it's been snowing here lately but I don't want to stress her out. She surprising likes the snow.. preferably with a jacket. I am working on getting her snow booties make it even more fun for her!

Oakley was on the Iams intestinal sensitivity formula because I tried taste of the wild ( of all kinds) and he was still having stool issues, combined with a puppy bout of giardia…he did well on it but I didn't feel good about the ingredients. From there I tried nature variety and he wasn't a fan. He has been sensative stool wise with many of the high quality foods so now we use Fromms and he is terrific. He loves all the varieties ( I mix two kinds at a time..one of their grain free versions with a grain version in order to get a reduced grain diet; stool issues if none or too much!)
His weight is steady and his coat has never looked shinier, smoother of softer. Lastly, he loves the taste and I don't have to coax him to eat.

I agree with not free feeding OR feeding from the same bowl. Since yours have issues (whether it's weight or sensitivity) knowing when they ate and controlling how much will allow you to better navigate around the health issues and possibly identify the cause of some as well!

@Moth:

Have you ever tried an obedience class? It might be a great place to start.

It sounds like your dog is space guarding.

I know that quality breeders will keep the lines as strong as possible while making sure the pups are not affected. Really, that is all anyone can ask.

@khanis:

Pat….......
that line means that if your puppy is out of two fanconi clear parents, it doesn't need to be tested to find out whether or not it will ever get Fanconi...
I should have been more clear, as of course we know that I am aware of what should/should not require testing.

If anyone wants that article, feel free to email me [bennyburnerbono at aol dot com] and I can send it in a word document. I have another one as well…. having bred and lived with Fanconi Affecteds, I have had my eyes opened far wider than ever imagined to this disastrous disease!

Kathy,
I think that many of us have had our eyes opened really far wide… not only about Fanconi but about the practice of some breeders that many would consider "responsible"..... Sad as that is....

Thanks for posting that article... it is very well done... and should be an eye opener to many....
