Lexi's Peanut Butter, Pumpkin, and Bacon Playdough

So my little Maltese, Lexi, has to take antibiotics twice a day for six days and a 1/4 of a Benadryl once a day. It took about 2 days for her to figure out that something was hidden in the peanut butter that the vet told me to hide the meds in. After a rough morning in which Kyle had to administer t...

Re: I Messed Up and Don't Know What to Do!

I thought that Acana was good! The vet recommended Iams or Purina saying that the stuff they put into the "holistic" dog foods is mostly organs and scrap. I hopped online and looked at the Iams and am a bit skeptical that "chicken by-product" is really much better. The fact that ...

Re: I Messed Up and Don't Know What to Do!

Thank you both! I thought I'd traumatized her for life. Okay, we just got back from the vet and it looks like Lexi's tonsils are swollen and her little ears are red. The vet suspects allergies and told us to give her 1/4 of a Benadryl tablet once a day to help with that, he also told us to use baby ...

Lexi, our dog, is an eight-year-old Maltese who was rescued from a puppy mill by an organization and lived with her foster mother for about a month before we adopted her last Thursday evening.

She looks lovely, and she's lucky to have found such caring owners :D I'm not an expert, but these are my thoughts... You've had her for such a short time and she's being exposed to so much that's new. You want all her experiences to be positive right now. She may well have sensitivities that you d...

Hello... About 2-1/2 days ago, my husband and I got Lexi, an eight-year-old Maltese from a rescue organization. She was rescued from a puppy mill and was with her foster mother for about a month before we adopted her. The foster mother had several dogs that varied from large to small, so Lexi doesn'...
