Don't worry, I promise you these were the plainest, dullest, most tasteless potatoes you've ever seen in your life. :cheshire: And once Mr. Potato Thief was done, there was barely a spoonful left for Madelyn.Originally Posted by viralmd
The collies eat pretty much anything, their favourite being a freshly laid egg from the hens, shell and all. So I was astonished last night to see the new potatoes being carefully picked out of their bowls and dropped on the floor. Sky went to nibble it rather distatefully and ate a small portion, sniffed the rest and walked off. Buzz looked at me as if to say Oi! You trying to poison us?!I gave them to the hens.....they loved them!

I've been thru it personally with two pugs, and it is a horror story. PLEASE everyone be careful what people food you give your pugs. 1 potato chip to a pug is a whole bag to us... And most foods are wayyyy too rich.
I almost lost Louisie years ago to pancreatitis. (hubby wouldn't stop feeding table food to T&L)You'll notice I got rid of him more than 6 years ago, and kept the pugs!

Beau developed it last year all on his own... No table food involved. He now eats a low-cal diet with a spoonful of plain, fat-free yogurt on top. He considers the yogurt a treat! It is a great thing to fool them with!
Agreeing with all Viralmd says, as always, I would just like to add that Delilah contracted pancreatitis within four hours of being given a cortisone injection, and I believe (and the specialist vet agreed too) that cortisone can be responsible...... here's a bit from a website..............there is no way Delilah would ever be given this drug again.![]()
What causes it?
The cause of pancreatitis is not known; however, there may be several contributory factors. It is often associated with a rich, fatty meal. In some cases, it may be associated with the administration of corticosteroid drugs however, some dogs with pancreatitis do not have exposure to either.
