Thread Name: Finally Got the Dog to Eat-- Eggs OK?
Subject: RE: Finally Got the Dog to Eat-- Eggs OK?
DINNER Rounds!!!!!!!! (Happy doggie!) (Happy mommie and daddie, too)

But-- in Googling around for info on them I discovered that one brand of it contains pentobarbital???? What is up with THAT? Also found mixed reviews on the form and content of the food-- so yes I know about that-- ranging from "garbage" to "highly recommended" from breeders and others. (Sans pento.)

Also discovered (late) that the vet recommends trying a child-dose of Dramamine for dogs that fret in cars. Says it's a symptom of motion-sickness ("LemmeoutNOWIneedtoBARFoutsidetheCAVE!!!") Says they often give up the fretting on short trips when they've had a couple of good long ones.

I guess we'll start to find out tomorrow morning! (No food or water before, and give pill an hour before departure.) I hope he'll be able to walk, and hop by himself into the car he just helped me load all his dog-smelly stuff into.... beds, food, treats, bowls, etc. All Things Faulkner he's been nervously watching me collect for several days. Also hope he's not totally comatose on the 8-hour ride.
