NO RAW FOOD !
I would consider myself a smart woman as far as animals are concerned. I would face the very hurtful fact of killing my own pet because I am a people pleaser and want what's best for my babies ( yes, babies, lol ). I would say that I am a leader and a follower.
Listen people, there's an old saying "if it's not broken" don't fix it. Let me explain something to you. back when your pet ( many, many, years ago ) or lets just say wolves in general then dogs... Yes, they had to eat raw meat but their system was set up for it. They were strong enough to fight the poisons off.
Sorry, but my Chinese Crested hasn't had to eat a rat yet. This is why they became so popular back when ships an pirates were a way of travel and trade. They use the Crested to kill the rats. Mine eat out of a bag, straight off the pet store shelf. The bad has already been cooked out of ingredients and even some of the good. What are we feeding our dogs, mostly fillers but most of us are satisfied with that. I also add carrots and green beans, even COOKED chicken.
So, I chose to listen to a breeder... I knew better deep down inside but continued any ways... if there's a small voice SCREAMING in your ear, LISTEN !
I started the raw diet and was so proud of myself for feeding him what his breed required... NO ! NO THEY DON'T ! They are now formed by us to eat treated food, not raw ! After a $ 5,000 vet bill... thanks to I-Vet, Indianapolis - off 96 th street - they will run you a $3,000 credit card then call when you have reached your limit. I think I had about $ 800 left to spend then a vet tech ( I won't tell on her ) called secretly and told me that they had him in a card board box in a utility closet ( they were not even full ), loaded on pain killers and still crying from pain. She told me that he was in so much pain that he would hold himself up with his back legs and rest on his head... MY GOD IN HEAVEN ! I ALMOST LOST MY MIND...
I can't stay in that place for long... I loved him so much, he was the sweetest lil guy. He was a beautiful cream puff. He was a mamma's boy too. He slept with me every night, right at the top of my head, I miss him.
I know I write sad posts sometimes but if you are not told the truth, you will end up hurting like me. He was tested and is was salmonella poisoning... I killed him, slowly. From the moment I noticed ( about 5 - 7 days after the raw diet ), he passed a painful week later.
His name was Sen- Sei
I'm sorry baby, I loved you so much. I miss how you made me laugh, I miss how we would lay at night and your nose always ended up on mine, you silly guy; I am high hopes of seeing you some day. The only way that I can get through this, is to picture you running, ears flapping, turning on a dime and running up to me to keep you safe from your girl Geisha... she misses you too. Smell the flowers for me and Geisha; and pee on all the bushes you want ! I love you my lil puff man !
