So you think she may have inherited IGA deficiency? Looks like that would be a genetic issue or drug induced? I guess in that case it would be good to know what her parents were like

Awww, shucks bianca! I do have to say, there are some households where I know she wouldn't stand a chance.

LMS, maybe, I'm just not sure, but I think that would be an inhereited thing. If she was born a stray, maybe it's a nutritional thing. She just may be a byb/puppy mill dog that had everything against her.

I did discover that the lean pork was causing digetive issues. I swore I would never feed it again when it suddenly was bad for indy, and other dogs across the country too, but I had to try.

She's pretty tired this morning - spent lots of time up on the balance baall/peanut yesterday in class. She loves that thing

Hoping that eventually the good things like this will outweight the challenges. We are standing with you Lisa. Hang in there you two

Thanks

Checking in and just want you to know I'm thinking of you.

It's been a few days...how is Ms. Jazzy doing? How are you doing Lisa?

Thank you guys. She was doing better, but she's pretty bad again. I'm wondering if it's daycare (last monday and friday), she gets green beans there. Looks like I am going to have to put her on the no food list there and see. Poor thing, I hate the feeling that she has to watch all the other dogs eat and doesn't get any!

This is so frustrating

She's chewing at her knee today - that's all I need!

I should add that the IMS doesn't think that this is food driven because of her symptoms, etc. If it were food-driven, he would think that there would be more stomach and even small intestine symptoms, and this is mostly lower colon.

Can't they just feed her with food you bring? That way she won't have to watch the others eat and not have anything for herself. Are the beans a snake? Poor Jazzy.

No, they don't do that with the daycare people. Luckily there are only two long days this coming term for her which will be 9 hour days. I wouldn't worry, but when she skips breakfast, that's a long time by the time we get home and I get food ready. OH well, we'll deal with it - I'm hoping that the raw goat's milk works well for her so I can encorporate that somehow.

Ghesh, I spelled snack "snake".. What was I thinking?

That is too bad they don't allow an owner to bring their own food. Definitely a long time for her to wait until the next meal. Ghesh.

Any Jazzy updates?

No, same old stuff and management. I continue to try new things, they continue not to make a bit difference.

We do have an acupuncture appointment next week with my long term vet who I only in a couple times a month, just to add some support and see if it can help with either the anxiety or the digestion. Next week back to work full and over time...

Shoot!! I think by process of elimination, if you keep on plucking away....you have got to hit the source/fix for this eventually. Hopefully, you are at least close to that. Huge hugs to you and a gentle kiss to Ms. Jazzy from Auntie Elvi. Please tell Jazzy that we think she is very special ..just like her mommy.

Thank you Elvi , much appreciated!!

Waiting for our vet/acupuncture appointment. This is the vet clinic that did her hernia surgeries and we do blood draws here when I want to send stuff out myself.

Lol, she lifted her leg and marked the wall in the reception area????? Completely caught me off guard

OUR Miss Jazmine????? Good heavens this dog has a huge personality.

I hope acupuncture works for her.

Hey there MaxaLisa and Jazz— It’s not true, not sweet little Jazz, nope, no way, no how, she’s too cute and adorable. The truth is the guy before her had a “problem” and she didn’t want him to be embarrassed so she covered the area so he wouldn’t take the blame. Yup, that’s the truth, nothing but!! Isn't she such a good girl!!!!
