Barb, I have been using the small juice box size of the Swanson's chicken broth for almost a year now with Buffy. I mix it half with filtered water and give it...

Thanks Barb! This is the first time I've had to deal with a UTI. Baby is not diabetic, and she's my oldest too, she's 1 1/2. I'm glad I caught it when I did. ...
Thanks Linda for the great information. From this I can see that Bufy must be a normal winter white because he has all the characteristics named in the...

Hi Amy Jo! I too was pretty overwhelmed when I found out my Kibbles had diabetes. But - once you get into a routine with them, it's pretty easy to care for...
The vet I took my hamster to was against Pedialyte mainly because of the sodium in it, which is very very little compared to chicken broth. Whole chicken...

Just wondering, would regular "human" tea help our hammies in any way at all, would it benefit them at all? I haven't given them any if that's what you guys ...
there is definatly lots of info on this site but at the same time it is like there is way too much info all at once. my vet still has no idea what is going on...

Barb, glad to hear that Lila is doing better. Sounds like you have found the combination of foods and drink that works well for her. It takes a little time,...
I'm so glad that Lila is doing well! And that you figured out to double the strength of her tea. I've been wondering if my one boy who hasn't been eating his...

Hi! I know I've seen how this tea is made, but my computer keeps freezing up and won't let me access the files section. I've seen threads where "doubled" the...
Sierra, I had no clue how to make the tea either. All I did was run the hot water tap, warm up a coffee cup and then put about an inch of the hot water in the...

I've seen it as well. It's like someone pulls the plug on their little brains! BOOOOOOP! Lights out, nobody home! I'm thinking they just get startled and...
