I got another dog a few months ago. I had been feeding canned and dry food, but it was getting too expensive with two dogs so I just went to the dry food only. I keep some in both bowls all the time. One dog has lost weight, one has gained! The new dog has no problem eating the dry food. Buddy eats it too, but not as much. I hand fed him for two nights and he took the food (he's not sick or anything), but I'm wondering if there is a trick to feeding two dogs. Now, tonight I put one bowl further away from the other one and he ate all the food in the bowl. Maybe the two bowls need to be further apart?

Anyone have any words of wisdom on feeding two dogs?

Have you cut back not only on the amount of food but the amount of times you feed him? If so, that may be why he is reacting this way.

My dog is overweight, too, and since he has problems with his legs, the vet wants us to try to help him lose weight. She said to feed him small meals more often so that he will feel satisfied but to make sure we cut down on the total amount of food given per day.

So maybe that would work with your cat - smaller meals, more often. Worth a try, right?

white collar workers only *ROFL* - what a small minded troll she is too....oh well, seems like  personal problem to me but then y'all have to stop feeding the troll (her).    she is also enthralled with herself *HAHAHAHA*......

Well, seems to some of us (me-me-me) that  she probably, in that neighborhood of only white collar workers) is low gal on the pole - she IS her own trash.....

I have a very personal question.  Does anyone have severe breast pain before their menstrual cycle.  I literally have excruciating pain for about two weeks before my cycle.  I have tried Motrin, heat, Primrose, herbal supplements and changing my diet.  Nothing works.  I've had a couple of mammograms which were both normal.  I am at my wits end.  I am questioning a hysterectomy to relieve the symptoms (it's that bad).  I have always had this but the pain seems to be getting worse.  I only have about two weeks without breast pain.  Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations.  I am willing to try anything.

Thanks ahead of time..... 

Thanks for you kind response.  I will get the book today.  I don't know what happened to the rest of the responses.  I emailed the moderator to ask where they went, as I would like to reread them.  My head is spinning, but putting one foot in front of the other is all I can do, plus yesterday I used the push mower to mow about an acre of my 5 acres out back.  That did wonders for my anxiety.  Didn't do much for the owie where I had the biopsy, but at this point, that bruise doesn't matter too much.  Blessings to you for your care and concern.

Yes, insurance and/or medicaid pays for reconstruction of any kind.  It's a law.  They must.  If you do not have insurance or are underinsured Medicaid will kick in.  Bill Clinton signed this into law in 2000.  This is a federal law, also mandating that all insurance companies pay for reconstruction.  Also, if you have breast cancer on one side only, as a friend of mine did, insurance paid for bilateral mastectomies, so yes, to answer your question about prophylactic measures at that stage.  I think, though that if you have a strong family history of breast cancer, mom, sisters, grandmother, etc., and you haven't been diagnosed, you might have to check with your insurance company about that, as well to find out if being tested for the gene that detects a predisposition for breast cancer. 

I hope that helped a little.  If you're worried a little, maybe calling the American Cancer Society could give you a little more info. Their web page gave me tons of information. 

You might even want to start earlier than age 40 with your mammograms.  You can start at age 30 or 35 and have them every two or three years until age 40, and yearly after that. It is particularly important if members of your family have had breast cancer at an early age.

As a former x-ray tech, I can tell you that a mammogram should be no more uncomfortable than having your blood pressure taken, unless you are already having breast pain. Sometimes your skin can get pinched at an awkward angle under the pressure plate, and that will hurt. If that happens, TELL the mammographer immediately, and she will adjust it.

I did hundreds of mammograms while I was an x-ray tech. I always took a little extra time to smooth out the skin and try to make sure that my patients did not experience discomfort. Some patients had fibrocystic disease or other breast issues which made it painful no matter how careful I was. So I tried to work as quickly as I could to minimize the discomfort.

The point is, a mammogram should not be an unpleasant experience. The mammographer is a professional; you should feel no more uncomfortable exposing your body in a mammography room than you would in the examining room of your doctor's office. The mammographer wants your experience to be pain-free and as pleasant as possible; sometimes that may require some communication on your part.

But please, PLEASE have regular mammograms.  It breaks my heart when I transcribe reports on young women in their 30s who have metastatic breast cancer. I always wonder how many children they will be leaving behind without a mother.
