Well, I had a first. I have a young bitch that just never gains weight , hasn't been in season (will be 2 next month) her stool is sometime ok and some times mush. She goes on and off feed. She get's a piece of raw chicken every AM with Exceed Lamb and Rice.and ju st Exceed in the PM. She always eats her chicken but not always her kibble. I took another stool sample in today and lo and behold a stomach worm showed up. I had never heard of a stomach worm. They get them from eating BUG's, rodents, reptiles etc. I'm hoping that has been her problem all along. Although she has been wormed with Panacur several times. Next question is....WHY do I bother to feed a good food if she would rather eat BUG'S???!!! Judi Bendt **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.
