actually a little bit of garlic powder is ok. but again I don't like to much of any kind of seasoning, and I can't have onions.
No raw form of onions or garlic though. cim ----- Original Message ----- From: Claudia Werner To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:03 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Connie Please make shure that there is no salt onion ore garlic in the Food for your dog ore cat.

I boil 4-6 chicken thighs, 1 can pumpkin, 1 can mashed sweet potatoes, and 1 can of no-salt Vegall (no onions kind). And I just through it in a big bowl and mash the tar out of it with a potatoe masher LOL I am hoping to learn more so she has variety.

I had asked about this in other dog groups I was in, but they would not help me.....as for water, I am all about filtered or bottled water, preferably bottled. I hate tap water and do not drink it.

The only time this reverse sneeze comes back is when I run out of bottled water and have to give them tap water. Tap water has fluoride and chlorine in it which is bad for dogs especially Chihuahuas. I have tried filtered water they still have the reverse sneeze just not as much or as bad. I also have found that some bottled water does it also. I get the nestle, or fountain mountain if the bottled water is on sale I read the label to make sure it has no fluoride or chlorine in it. but be careful they do hide those in big fancy words. The other day my husband feed palido and Tianna hot dogs and the did the reverse sneeze so now they aren't allowed that. I have done a lot of research on what to feed Chihuahuas and what not to. The only thing is they never said much about their water. I found this out actually just by spoiling the heck out of my dogs LOL. I don't like water especially tap water I at first got the bottled water for me but after a month of sharing with palido his reverse sneeze went away so now that is all my dogs get. If you have any more questions about foods for Chihuahuas I can help there also but keep in mind I don't really believe in feeding them dog food. I do supplement Tianna's diet with dog food but don't like giving it to her at all I can explain this if you all want but I think this is getting pretty long lol. cim ----- Original Message ----- From: Yisraela To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 4:02 PM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] coughing What are you doing to prevent it, please?

When we first got palido that scared me to death and the vet said and what I read on the internet said it was normal for Chihuahuas. My chi's don't do it any more I found a way for them not to the only time they do it now is if I run out of what I give them to get rid of it or some foods do it which I found out last week end. cim ----- Original Message ----- From: Claudia Werner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] coughing Chihuahua's also have some that's called reverse sneezing.Brutus and Sissy both have it.Brutus after hi gets exited and Sissy also after she drinks water.I use to think at was a Asthma attack.

The vet put her on ten days antibiotics and she got a little better. The previous owner said it was kennel cough and it would run its course in 2 weeks. She is still coughing. Cant go back to the vets yet. Anyone familiar with kennel cough? Thanks, Yis Yisraela & the adorable chi, Lacy Lou
