Is she, maybe, chicken intolerant? Try a fish based complete with some mashed potato- I know it works!

That will be our next move after this  "trial".  A complete food rethink. Never had this trouble before with any previous pup

 feel for you, I know it is so frustrating when you think you are winning - then something upsets the apple cart. Rupert is on Tribal complete meal sausages , it is a one protein source food and can be fed to puppies - he has either Turkey or Chicken, - lamb or duck are also available, but I found these to be a bit fatty, not sure if that would help Molly.

Have put the link here for you so you can have a look if you wish

You can get the dry food also, but Rupert prefers the sausages.  (warning they are a bit expensive)

Wishing you and Molly all the best  :luv:

Well nothing showed up in poop samples. ( the bad news was the £90 to be told that).  Back on the gastrointestinal food and promax. . This time with strict no treats, chews or human foods. . It just seems 3 steps forward and one back.  She is gaining weight as she should so don't really understand the issue with her.

Grooming / Clipping/scissor problems with young Cocker
« Last post by silke on March 25, 2024, 04:02:58 PM »
Hi all,
I have an 11 month old lovely Cocker boy and I have brushed him regularly, which he is absolutely fine with. However, as soon as I try and trim or even dry his feet, he gets 'upset', he pulls his feet away and clearly doesn't like it. The same when I try to get the (very quiet!) clippers to him to clipper off a tangle that has unfortunately formed on his belly. He has been to the groomer twice and was apparently really good there, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried to click/treat for holding the equipment near him, then stroking him with it, touching his paws, belly etc, but as soon as I want to get to work  :005: we struggle. I am very frightened of hurting him or putting him off etc, so maybe I am a bit hesitant. Does anyone have advice? I have invested in a grooming table but I am frightened he will fall off it.  ph34r By the way, even with OH holding tasty treats or a licki mat, it doesn't work.  :huh:
Thanks in advance for your suggestions or even similar experiences to that I don't feel so bad!  :lol2:
