Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Has anyone have a problem with their puppy eating the nylabone and getting diarehia? i'm trying to figure out what is causing it. he seemed to be fine this morning and after I gave him the bone a little while later he had loose stool again. |

| We haven't had that problem with nylabone, but we have with rawhide. Have you switched up his food or introduced anything else that could be the problem? _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Are you speaking of the edible Nylabones or the nylon ones? If it's the edible ones, they are full of wheat. Sabaka cannot tolerate wheat (or could not as a puppy and therefore we have not tried it again). The edible Nylabone's ingredient list is quite long... it could be a number of things. |

| Huh, I hadn't even seen the edible ones, I just assumed he was talking about the nylon ones. That would make a big difference there... Ghost had a lot of problems with grain as a puppy, but she seems to be growing out of it at least somewhat. We can give her cookies in small quantities and she's totally fine. If she goes to Petsmart and gets loaded up with cookies and biscuits she'll still go a little soft sometimes, but mostly she's fine. We love the Trader Joe's cookies, too. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Hmmm... After you said that, Meredith, I got concerned that I was thinking of another product, so I Googled it. I think Nylabone may have reformulated their edibles because they now say that they are "Gluten Free" but I can't find an ingredient list.

| Yeah apparently I'm either not very observant or our Petsmart doesn't carry those, because I don't remember ever seeing them. I'll have to look the next time I'm in there. It's probably just that I didn't notice them though _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| You might want to try switching to the normal Nylabones. Those might be too soft for him since he seems to chew them up so quickly. Honestly, we never used any of the puppy specific stuff, even with things like Nylabones and Kongs. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

That stuff is probably flying thru the pups belly faster then any high fiber diet known to man or dogs. |

| Kya had loose stool after consuming a nylabone as well, so we switched her to the KONG, but not puppy kong.
Now we use real knuckle bones from the feed store. It can get messy but it kills the chewing and no loose stools. |
