Hello,
I completely agree with Dr. Humphries comments above and wanted to add a couple thoughts.
In older dogs, personality changes may also be an early sign of an internal problem.
I have tried all her favorites, (chicken, hamburger, cheese, hot dogs) and at most she takes a nibble. She has lost weight and her stool is soft, with bright red blood and smells very bad. She also has bad breath and I noticed her teeth in the very back of her mouth have tartar. I made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow morning, but I'm worried and would like to know what could be wrong with her and what I should expect tomorrow.
There are alot of foods that I need to eat for reduced calories/
Hi, I would recommend you stop all sugar, breads, rices, fizzy drinks. Any carb intake should be done before 13:00. Excercise vigourously and you definitely see results. I have lost 9kgs in 4 weeks so far.
This happened to my 16 year old Terrier mix, he lost his muscles mass due to a diet of low in protein. His vet prescribed a low protein dog food to protect his kidneys. This was the worst thing she could have done. I've since learned that his kidneys were not that bad for his age, and these low protein diets do nothing to protect the kidneys or cure kidney disease in dogs. He lost so much weight and lost his hair. He became very weak, and lethergic.
If you want to reduce fat and keep it off, then it will take some time. I won't assurance 5-10 pounds weight loss in a week or two weeks’ time, but I will say you can reasonably reduce 1-2 pounds of body fat a week, and build muscle at the same rate. You can’t put the body weight on overnight instantaneously, and therefore it's not going to magically disappear overnight.
5 had weighed 103 lbs he was place on a diet he is now 85 with help of Science Diet weight loss food and then maintained with Science Diet W/D. Now the Vet is discontinuing this food and rep. My replacing it with Purina overweight management. My golden is Not impressed, he usually eats anything in front of hm. What do your recommend??
There is nothing magical about Greek yoghurt -- it's just yoghurt with much of the liquid removed, making it higher in protein and thicker. But Greeks don't sit around eating this yoghurt, which is prevalent in the Mediterranean region, they mostly use it as a dipping condiment or for cooking. Dairy can also be problematic, as it is rich in calcium but very low in magnesium, so if you overdo it you will leach the magnesium out of your system.
I just started doing the weight loss thing and I've cut out pop,candy,fried foods and stuff like that for about a week. I have issues some times walking and also can't get to the gym what can I do at home that will help me?
My nutritionalist tells me to do as much cardio as possible, its the best in shedding weight, but as a man i think adding weights once or twice a week will help tramedously as well as it will help tone as u loose the weight and aid in the weight loss. her tips..
The most important things for weight loss is to calculate BMI and calorie intake requirement. Diet should be planned with more proteins and fibre, less carbohydrates and fat.
On an average 2-3 kilos should be lost in a month. You should right and healthy. Never skip a meal. Also a fitness regime needs to be fixed.
I would suggest that you visit a nutritionist and fitness expert for further assistance.
Best.
I hate to answer questions with more questions, but ---
Do you know for sure that you have thyroid issues? If so, why aren't you being treated for them? What tests have been done and what are the results, along with the lab's reference ranges?
We all react differently to meds, foods, etc and while some people do well with a gluten free diet, my doctor told me not to bother with it because I'm not gluten sensitive. I do well with whole grains.
You don't lose 20 lbs in 15 days, even with a gym membership and weights.
You'd have to cut your calories way too much to do that in a healthy manner. There just really is no short cut to healthy weight loss. It's one of those things that we have to work at, on an ongoing basis, not just when we have a special event or reason for losing weight.
Eating healthy foods in proper proportions and getting moderate exercise are the best ways to lose weight, but it takes time.
Its the high grain content of all dry foods that lead to excessive weight gain, esp. with cats...not sure about dogs, but I will assume it could also be part of your dogs weight problems. As far as the bowel issues that too can be food related.
I suggest you post on the Dog forum, there are others there that are much more educated in good foods for dogs....
