Re: litter wrap up - barf

["Macen K. Shinsato" <macen@foxinternet.net>]

Some breeders on the K-9 nutrition list have
lost pups to giardia and the like due to severe
diarrhea and problems such as dehydration
and loss of appetite.  Seems there was also
a theme re) this topic on the huge BARF
list several months ago--haven't been on that
one for a while--too much going on and I'm
trying to get my surviving kitty on a better
diet while she remains a surviving kitty.

Will post the links tonight after bedtime.
