Re: Weight Loss

Thanks. What you said about the bacteria in the hind gut was my suspicion. I felt there must have been such a difference between CA and MI and with the stress of moving. When I ran that by my vet a couple months ago, she didn't think that would be the case.....I think that's a good part of it. I've added Dyna-pro to her rice bran and flax seed. I'm also giving her some oats, but not more than about two or three cups. Its mainly just to make the flax and rice bran seem more exciting. Thanks again for your response. I feel more positive now.
