Thanks, all, for your sympathy for my little guy, Chachi.

Yorkie, our vet has told us the same thing, "absolutely nothing other than the Hill's prescription z/d diet and the hypoallergenic treats (that we get from our vet's office)....not even chew-sticks". I think what may have happened is, when I asked my husband to feed the dogs, he accidentally set down Sissy's food first and Chach managed to get a bite of Sissy's dinner before he could get him away from it. Jk feels really bad that he may have caused Chachi's colitis flare up. Even though the vet has warned us, we had no idea that it was so critical that Chachi get nothing, not even one bite of forbidden food.

Anyway, Chachi is doing great now and we are hoping that he eventually will be able to do without some of this medication doctor has him on. One of the pills is very low doses of Prednisone.

Thanks again, friends. Happy FRiday.....Have a wonderful day!

Lori, I feed my furry kid Royal Canin High Fiber that comes in a can, twice a day. Then for ‘treats’ she gets the same thing, only in dry form - small pellets. She thinks it is dropped from heaven (until she smells bacon.)

I know how your husband must feel, but it happens to all of us, who have dogs on restrictive diets. I made corned beef not too long ago, and dropped a piece of the meat, as I was transferring it to the platter. She dove on it like a cat on a mouse, and I just knew she was going to get sick - but thankfully, she didn’t.

I’m glad Chachi is doing so well, now!

Lori ... Marissa sends big hugs and I send gentle hugs to Chachi.

Poor little guy. I feel bad that he is sick again.

Have a delightful weekend.
