dogs and cats living together

Well, it has been interesting. Trouble, whom the doc calls an "ancient" dog, got a bad tooth infection. The result was he wound up loosing most of his teeth. *sigh* So, he is on wet food now and it needs to be low salt. I have done some research and I'm now making dog food for the dogs. The following is the recipe I contrived from the research of recipes etc.

1.5 cups milk
4 oz meat (pre-cooked) ground beef or chicken or turkey
1/2 tbsp liquid aminos for minerals
1/2 tbsp garlic for antioxidents
1/2 tbsp ginger for digestion
1/2 tbsp yucca for joints and arthritis
1/4 cup vegtables (cauliflower, whatever)
10 slices of bread
3 eggs

mix all together completely until the bread is damp. Slap it in the oven to bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Makes about 4 servings.

Since Mocha can still eat the hard food, trouble gets bigger portions.

Now the cat, Mac, seems to have gotten in a fight and has an infection in a cut just below her left ear. Twice a day we need to give her antibiotics. Her shots were up to date, so we don't have any worries there.

And I'm getting back to work. As usual I'm behind. I'll have a big trip to the post office tomorrow with the orders.

That it for today. Hope they stop the new FISA attack on America in congress.

NO problem with the milk? Buddy the goober dog is on a no milk diet...it seems to cause him to empty his tummy out the front end... Mr. Chewy will not drink it unless it is in small proportions and mixed with something (meat preferably).
I know a lady out in the Seattle area that make her dogs' food. She will only use Lamb as the protein and brown rice as the bread. Then she gives them a tsp or so of fish oil weekly for their coats/fur. I haven't heard from her lately...maybe I should see how she is doing....

No problem with any dairy product here. they even eat yogurt, however, I am using Organic milk. My mother can't drink milk, it makes her sick. She tried the Organic and no problem. So for most of the stuff I'm using commercial, but not the milk. It isn't scientific, but I do have a bit of empirical mom data on organic versus commercial milk.
