Hi Kim,
I hope Hand heals well and quickly... Please give him a carrot and a scratch from his extended family here- (big carrot from me)-
Best,
Vivi

Vivi, our divorce was amicable. We decided that since the "kids" grew up in this house (I kept the house), they should stay here. She gets them about one week a month, or so. Even so, she always complains about how I take care of them.... "You don't brush them enough!"... You don't clean out the litter boxes enough!"... You don't clean out their bowls enough!"... nag, nag, nag... (I need a rolling eyes emoticon about here!)

well, my old lady came w/a cat, so that was the start-i'm allergic, so the 1st 4 yrs we terrorized each other, the next 4 we tolerated each other, & this year he likes me better than her cause i'll pet him w/my foot-since the SO works in wildlife rehab, we've also acquired a turtle w/a crooked spine, another turtle that bites everybody (no one else would take him), a bird that won't fly, & 2 white & tan rats-i'm a dog lover personally, & even though i traveled w/9 humans & 6 animals in 1 van, our trailer's too small for the rott/pit mix i'd love to have-once we can move to the country, i'm sure we'll have a zoo full

It's almost certainly the food. Try changing him gradually to a different type and see if that helps.

Ask your vet if it persists, but I suspect something, probably grain or vegetable, disagreeing with him.

I took my Rex to the vet for a followup today regarding some meds he's on, this being the great Dr. Frizell of Claremont Vet in Oakland, who's been his primary vet ever since I got him 11 years ago.

Says Frizell: He's Old.

Which, at 13, he is, of course. But he's sure enjoying the bone I stopped to buy him on the way home. Doctor's orders! Clean those teeth!
