he's free feeding, dog food is michael's dry food because wet food will mess his teeth up. but he only wants ppl food!!!!

@Moth:

What are you feeding him?

It helps to know what brand you are offering, and whether it is dry or wet food.

Also are you free feeding or is he/she on a feeding schedule? How much are you feeding?

i feed him dry /free feedings/ michaels dog food. but he want's ppl food allthe time!.:rolleyes:

im going to the vegt to see just how far i can do his nails, but i just cant be nice to someone that was never nice to me!! for 23 yrs. but im going to have dinner with her, just hope she dont saay anything negitive about or even compair my dad to anyone!. because i will in no short form go off on her!. but, thks everyone , i really appreciate everything here.

hi there kipawa, thanks for the message, i'm going to have my vet show me how, it's the best way to do this so i dont hurt him or cause snydamage to his feet!. ya, i havent been on for a while, my dad dies very suddenly!, & his wife is a reall B````! he was going to do a will but didnt get to ti intime , so now she has the sayso of all his stuff!!. but has the nerve to ask me over for dinner this week!!.so thing havent been good here on my side lately!!!. but, hope everything is going great on ur end!.

should i be trimming my basenji's nails? or do they trim there own nails?& if i should be doing the trimming then how far should i go???!!

the only thing is i have only seen him aggressive towards dobermans, american native huskys, and some labs. and ( always) towards pit bulls, & bull dogs!. i understand the doberman because he got attacket by one in the park!, but i stoped it before it got bad!.but kids and other people i haven't had any problem with!, but idid noteist that they dont like big crowds around them!.

tanza , pedro is haven the same thing (the runns) but he was cleared on the fanconi, 7 he's not drinking alot or peeing a lot!, but i did rescue a baby ratcoon, and had to put it down because of sarcoptic mange but none of us have shown any signs! 7 i keep my daughter& basenji away from the baby coon!!!. i talked to a 5 different vets and they have told me that the any person or animal would have to touch the coon to get this mange!! . the only thing that has changed with him is he has diarrea!! for 2 week now! dont know what to do , he wont eat dog food of any kind it's , back up unless i mix it with hamburger but i wash the hamburger after i cook it to get the grease off!!. dont it for the past 2 yrs now with his food!. i dont know what do do!???> i was the only one around the coon 7 i havent shown any signs of mange !, i did spray the back yard (all) with bleach & water (1/2& 1/2)!! i need to thingabout this… it's been 2 weeks since i did the yard too!!!. oh my gosh it just hit me could that be the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????/
