Rowdy's Recovery - Day 5 (no digestive issues)


Rowdy's Recovery - Day 5
Originally uploaded by ModernLifePhoto

Rowdy is still very much favoring his injured leg and primarily walking on three legs, however - he's getting around much better and is definitely starting to act like nothing is wrong.

He's still on a pretty hefty regimen of pain medications, but has had no real digestive issues that we were told to expect. We attribute a lot of this to the 1/2 raw food diet he's on. Both of our dogs eat 1/2 raw meat (free range chicken and/or turkey) from Woody's Petfood Deli in Minneapolis. We've found this to be very helpful to their digestive system and they've both been 100% healthy since starting them on that diet.  Note: We do have cans of Organic Pumpkin (not the sweetened pie filler, but 100% pumpkin) in case he does develop any issues.  We've been told by other PTLO recoveries that Pumpkin was very helpful.
