The Butter Spread

Just an update before I lag behind too much. Butter is doing well! 😊 We measured her urine pH value and it seems to be hovering between 6.0 and 7.0. All the measurements were done in the evening since in the morning everyone is just rushing off to work 💃 16 August 2017 - 7.0 - 8.0 18 August 2017 - 6.0 25 August 2017 - 6.5 We were still seeing drips of blood in her urine on the 23rd. Previously, Butter also had a very bad facial skin problem which I presume to be some sort of infection. Her face were red and swollen with dirt growing from within her folds while her chin were filled with bloody acnes. While it could be a form of detox, it was getting too worrying for us so we decided to make use of this medical wipes called  Sogeval Douxo Chlorhexidine 3% PS Pads . We initially bought it for Oreo -- another family French bulldog with skin issues, but we just had to fix Butter's face. Within 3 days, Butter's face got a lot better with it being less red an...

It seems like Butter's UTI may have returned 😔 I saw drips of blood as she peed, just like how she first had UTI. Instead of visiting the vet, I've decided to take up some suggestions from Rick for the next two weeks and see how Butter reacts to it. He suggested the following: Increase acidophilus and bifidus back to 2 capsules. Increase wild body to 3 capsules. One capsule of enzymes before she sleep. Feed watermelon. Add raw coconut oil to meals. Half teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to her meals. Feed raw coconut water. Add cilantro or parsley to her meals. Most of it are what we've been doing, so it should be pretty easy. I started increasing the amount this morning. I've also bought some pH indicator strips to test Butter's urine pH values. It used to be at 9.0 on 15 July 2017 when she was cleared of her UTI. It was still high, hence her UTI returning I guess. Her pH value was at 7.0 - 8.0 today in the evening.  These days we've...

I shall skip the details and go straight into observations. Food We started feeding her steamed cod fish around the end of July since we don't want Butter to be on chicken only. She seem to itch more when eating fish, and her pee smells really bad. We stopped feeding her fish due to her itch. We've started feeding her steamed minced beef today. Butter has also started eating celery, broccoli and cabbage since the 7th of August, we've also added turmeric powder to her meals. This weekend, we began feeding her fruit smoothies in the morning together with her other two meals. Acne On the 30th of July, we caught some acne growing on her chin and it has been getting bad. We were feeding her steamed cod fish before this (and stopped) and started on the Wild Body supplement so we thought it could be an allergy or reaction to the supplement. However, Rick mentioned that this is part of the cleansing process so it shouldn't be a worrying factor and will clear on its own....
