I've been giving Harley rice and chicken today since her tummy became poorly again. She seems to be hungry still, ganging around in the kitchen and 'counter surfing' which she has never done before. I know it's probably a silly question, but She is my first dog! How much rice and chicken should I be giving her for each meal?
Re: How much rice and chicken? What kind of food does she normally get, Naya, and how much of it? I have a fully grown dog (about 28kg and 56cm high) and, if he was recuperating from a poorly tummy, I'd give him an amount of half chicken and half rice that was about the size of a tennis ball, twice a day.
Re: How much rice and chicken? Somewhat randomly, I fed Charlie a bit over half the weight of his normal food allowance in chicken and rice when he was recovering from his poorly tum at Christmas. I just thought that cutting the volume right down too was probably best. So that was about 65g of half chicken, half rice, twice a day.
Re: How much rice and chicken? When we had to give our dogs bland diet, we were advised on half the normal weight as Julie sugested, but it was 2/3rds rice to chicken. Hope she gets better soon.
Re: How much rice and chicken? Harley is on royal canin gastro. She has 150g twice a day with 60g at lunch, then approx 50g in kongs/treats. I have booked to see the vet tomorrow as she has lots of blood in her stools
Re: How much rice and chicken? Ah Ternaya you must be so worried about her ,get her well checked over and let us know later what the vet says ,good luck ,poor little Harley x
Re: How much rice and chicken? Poor girl. It's always hard when you see them unwell. I hope it goes fine at the vet.
Re: How much rice and chicken? Just back from the vet. She has antibiotics and paste. We have to collect stool samples over the weekend and they are sending them off they said it may be parasites or bacteria / giardia or something else (can't remember as not heard of before!) She's still not her normal self, but hopefully we are going in the right direction. Hopefully we will get a bit more sleep tonight as she was up 4 times last night and hopefully her tummy will settle quickly. I'm off to work now, but hubby is off today to look after her
Re: How much rice and chicken? Oh dear, you must be shattered, poor loves, hoping she is loads better soon x
Re: How much rice and chicken? Oh poor little Harley, hope you all get some rest over the weekend and she perks up a bit xx
Re: How much rice and chicken? [quote author=Naya link=topic=4855.msg60625#msg60625 date=1394726712] Harley is on royal canin gastro. She has 150g twice a day with 60g at lunch, then approx 50g in kongs/treats. I have booked to see the vet tomorrow as she has lots of blood in her stools [/quote] That's a lot of royal Canin. More than 400g a day? Gosh, Charlie doesn't see that in 2 days...
Re: How much rice and chicken? That does seem a lot, Hattie is 25 kg and she gets 300g a day. Charlie is 30 kg and he gets 400 - 450g as per vets instruction as his weight is difficult to maintain.
Re: How much rice and chicken? Is she still,on the puppy RC Ternaya? Dex gets 300 g a day in 2 meals of the adult RC he's been having an extra lunch of 75 g for the last 2 weeks to get his weight up gradually but I drop that if it's a day he's going to have a few kongs. It sounds like she's got a really yucky bug,sorry you are all having disturbed nights too x
Re: How much rice and chicken? Yes Angela, she is still on RC puppy gastro. It advises to give 6-8 month old whose adult weight will be up to 26kg, 406g per day. Some days she will eat this amount, other days she will eat a lot less. Physically she looks very healthy. Harley has had an ok day with hubby and was very excited when I brought my daughter home Thank you for all your kind thoughts x
Re: How much rice and chicken? Ah I remember that amount now.....I fed 3 x 100g for his meals and 75g for training treats which put me enough under allowance for a couple of kongs ...how's she doing today? X
Re: How much rice and chicken? Thanks for asking Angela . She seems to be a bit more lively today, but not sure if it's because my daughter is home for the weekend. Harley slept from 1am-6.45am I definitely feel more human today just hoping she keeps improving x
Re: How much rice and chicken? Sounds like a move in the right direction and you enjoy your time with your daughter x
