Vitamin B complex

Just curious if anybody has given this to your hound? Does it really make a difference?

Yes and yes.

How much do you give them? How do you give it to them?

I have used B-12. 1/2-3/4 cc and frequency depends upon what you ulltimately desire to glean from it. 1/2 cc 2x a week IM or SubQ is what I ultimately settled on.

How about thiamine?

Never used it. But I would suspect that if someone is considering supplementing any of the B family of vitamins, a CBC has/should be obtained to give them a better idea of any deficency so that they can dial in on the needs and treatment. B is one of those synergistic things in that they work better together. Why am I telling you this, I am sure you already know l.lyle?

I don't know it for a fact but it would seem they would only find a use for it if 1) it was lacking . OR 2) some other favored ingredient was tying up what they would normally get out of a pot of grits . Don't play with Mother Nature is what ussuns Ecologists say. LOL. Shows what weuns know about dattun dere.

Mr. Snowgren, I lost three dogs last night , Sunday night, that have not been out of the pen since March. All three were fed 2 cups of Diamond Maintenace all summer just to keep them maintained. Two got kind of fat and the third was a young dog in a pen with and older female that was a bit of a bitch. . Anyway, I caught the one you could make out some ribs on this evening. Her ribs were evident but she ran down the truck to load up. I got a feeling the other two swam the river after I left them after midnight last night and got on an Island somewhere and will rest up till they decide to come on out. This has happened to me for thirty years . I don't bother to get a boat and go hunting for them anymore. I just hunt something else till they come on out. They have to swim on back but to me a quarter of a mile swim is no hill to climb. When they get back, if they do, they are sure to be gaunt and need a days rest, maybe. But then they will be right shape for getting right for the rest of the season.
