I found a link regarding analyzing dog foods and how healthy they are for your dog and found out the prescription food the vet put my boxer on is rated low (#1) and has a carcinogenic in it. I'm not very happy about it because boxers have a tendency toward cancer. Copper has only been on the food for about a week, so I think I'm going to switch him to one of the higher quality foods (#6) and take the other food back to the vet. The Wellness Core food that was suggested to me is rated a #6 which is the highest rating. I think I'll go with a grain-less food since grains are not recommended for dogs. What I was feeding my babies was rated low #1. I never thought about their food as being not nutritious, but I guess they are no different than any of us. I guess they need to go on a doggie atkins diet? HAHA!! Below is the website if anyone is interested.

I'm starting to lose a little water weight, but it takes a while for the medicine I was on to get out of my system. No headaches yet and hopefully they stay gone.

I know I do not drink enough water and will have to start drinking more to flush out my body. Thank you for giving me that suggestion. I feel a little less bloated, so maybe being off the Lyrica is a good thing. Headaches haven't come back yet and hopefully they stay gone. I think I'm going to try and get more veggies in my diet also.

Well, I took my two boxers to the vet Friday and got them checked over. Buster got his shots, but Copper has been chewing on his feet and getting ear infections. The vet thinks Copper has a food allergy and this is causing both issues, so he put Copper on antibiotics and steroids in order to clear things up and I'm in the process of transitioning him into a food trial. Boy, the prescription food is EXPENSIVE!! He was a whopping 105# (Buster was 66#) and the vet says he needs to lose 10-15#, so Copper and his mama (that would be me) are both on a diet and exercise plan now. Of course, I can't take Copper for a walk and not Buster, so I'm going to be walking twice a day as soon as the rain clears up. The Lord has his way of motivating me--all he had to do is make my poor baby sick and overweight also.

Well, I went to the doctor today and had a 4 pound weight gain. I'm convinced it's water weight because I feel bloated and I'm having swelling in my feet. I spoke to my doctor about my issues and he took me off one of my medications for my migraines. I take a low dose of lyrica, but it can also cause swelling and dizziness which I'm having both of these issues. I'm hoping once the drug is out of my system that the swelling starts to go away. He also drew a bunch of labs to make sure everything else was doing OK. I'm curious to see what my vitamin levels are since I've had the surgery. He also did a thyroid lab on me to check that. My thyroid has always been normal in the past, so hopefully it's still running normal. My doctor thinks my body is in a little bit of hormonal and physical shock from having the surgery and it will just take some time to normalize. It's been very frustrating for me to deal with these problems because I'm still looking for the scale to go down. I usually failed diet in the past when this happened, but now I have no choice and can't cheat which I'm thankful for. I'm hoping my body gets it together soon because I'm not very patient!!
