[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 484553, member: 1233"] The others are right. Spaying really is what is best for a dog. But it is hard to see your furbaby hurting even when it was neccessary. If you want to cook the chicken, you can just boil it, pull it out of the water but do NOT discard the water you boiled it in, and then put the bones back in the water. Cook the bones for an hour or so, then strain the broth out and let the dog have it. Even easier if the store is close, go and get a jar of baby meat. Let her have a little of that at a time on a finger. And get a can of broth for her - make sure it is the low sodium, no msg kind. Those are even worse for dogs than for us. One vet tried to tell me dogs don't get migraines, but we had one who did after she ate some chinese food. She was really sick and had all the problems I get iwth a migraine. So that is why I suggested baby meat instead of broth. Esp don't use powdered broths as they contain huge amts of sodium and preservatives, etc.... One of the very few problems we ever encountered with an animal that was spayed was that when the lab I grew up with got old she had bladder problems. She would leak urine in her sleep. Not a lot, but a noticeable amount. We made sure she slept on a pad that was easily washable (folded up blanket was what she liked) but once she started taking a low dose of estrogen it stopped happening. She was 11 or 12 when it happened. She lived to be over 14 and as long as she took her medications it wasn't a big deal. [/QUOTE]
