‘m to mind him for the next three months or so and I knew he was coming but I expected an older dog since this is way too young.
I cannot send him back to his parents, it’s not a viable option as I am his guardian for a little while now.
I’ve put him in a puppy pen with a crate inside, some food and some puppy milk (I don’t think he has been weaned) and a puppy pad.
He drank heaps, ate a bit and fell straight to sleep.
Please don’t judge me I was asked to mind this dog for a little while but this young I did not expect is there anything I can do to help him?
He has only cried a little bit before going to sleep.
Please, any advice?
(He is being fed a raw food diet I found the correct recipe and made some up today when I found out he was coming, he enjoys it. The puppy milk is lactose free)
Please any advice?
(P.S I’ve wormed him and he has been vaccinated I don’t think he’s been wormed before (BIG stomach) so I’m expecting a lot of worms soon, I’ve also brushed his teeth thoroughly since they were already major black spots on his teeth)
Also Is it too young to start house breaking him?
I’m not sure.
THANKS!
(I posted this a little while ago but I didn’t get many answers)
I’m letting my other dogs play with him (supervised) and he enjoys that, they are 4 and 5 months old, I think that’s okay do you?

I’m not trying to be gross, but today I had a craving for a cheeseburger so I went to McDonalds and got a super size quarter pounder with cheese. About an hour after I ate it, my stomach started hurting and then I "went to the toilet" and it was green. I haven’t had fast food in about three months. Do you think it was because of that or did I just get a bad meal? Please help!
Yes, I know McDonalds is total garbage and I usually eat healthy but I am pregnant and craved a cheeseburger. I have learned my lesson!

I want to switch my cats over to a BARF diet, after about three months consideration and research, but I can’t afford a grinder at the moment. I have everything else available to me, but grinders are expensive. I would like to buy premade food from a pet supply store but I haven’t been able to find any myself.
I live in Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada which is about 15 minutes away from Houlton, Maine, USA.

About three months ago, I began transitioning to the raw food diet. At first, I was strictly raw… I just kinda threw myself in there, and managed to upold it for about a month. Since then, I’ve kinda fallen off the wagon, though.

My biggest problem was being hungry all the time. At first, I was dealing just fine… It seems, though, that my body will plateau and fluctuate by 3 or 4 pounds (this is in general, not in the raw transition) and as soon as I start to dip below that, I feel insatiably hungry until I load up on food and go back up to my "regular" weight. I hit that plateau about two weeks after going raw, and managed to stay raw- although overindulging- for another few weeks before starting to re-suppliment my diet with cooked grains, ect.

I have had problems in the past with eating disorders. When I hit these plateaus and become ravenous all the time, I get very depressed. When I can keep my food intake steady, I manage ok, but when I start pigging out and eating everything in sight, I tend to "crash" and eat more because of these problems with food that I’ve had in the past.

The main reason that I started putting cooked food back into my diet was protein… I felt that a big reason that I was hungry all the time was because I was lacking it. (Has anyone heard about the Blood Type Diet? About a week ago I was doing some reading, and came across information on it… If the theories that it presents are correct, then as an O- protein should be a major part of my diet…)

Does anyone have any suggestions for moving past this initial phase of detox and getting back in the raw swing? I started taking a greens suppliment, to make sure that I was getting enough. I know that nuts have a good amount of protein, but sometimes they make me sick.

Are there any side-effects that I should expect from this detoxing phase, and anything that I can do to ease the transition?

I've found several detox diets, ranging from a week to three months, and from all fruits and vegtables, to only certain ones and salt water. I was wondering if anyone has been on a detox diet before, which kind it was, and how it made you feel. Feedback? Suggestions?
