✨Why Doesn't Kyūbi Eat Kibbles Anymore✨
✨點解 Kyubi 唔再食狗狗乾糧✨
"Dry kibbles are just like ultra-processed junk food."
“乾糧就如高度加工既垃圾食物。“ - 🐶💁🏻♀️
When we first had Kyūbi a year ago, he had BAD digestive conditions, he was skinny, his coat was coarse and he frequently had upset tummy.
一年前當我地帶 Kyūbi 返屋企既時候,佢好瘦削,皮膚毛質差,而且經常有便便問題。
We had seek many vets' advice... we were prescribed antibiotics (metronidazole), which helped with the diarrhoea for a little while, but it came back as soon as we stopped the antibiotics, and we have repeated this course of treatment for several times already. The vet called these antibiotic-responsive diarrhoea, implying the the gut has accumulated much bad bacteria that only when using antibiotics to kill all the bad bacteria (including the good one), the digestion could function normally.
我地諮詢咗好多獸醫既意見,亦重複咗好多次抗生素(metronizadole)療程,但可惜每次一停食抗生素,便便問題又再返嚟。獸醫稱呢種肚痾問題為對抗生素療程有反應既肚痾,佢地解釋唔到點解,但意思就係腸道裡面有好多壞菌,需要用抗生素殺死先可以有正常既消化同便便。
It was a very dark period for us, despite being on prescription diet (Hill's® Prescription Diet® i/d®), and taking premium probiotic supplements, Kyūbi's digestion did not improve... and we were given the option to start Kyūbi on a TWO-MONTH course of antibiotics treatment, which we felt was very extreme, because antibiotics can really damage the normal balance of the bacteria in his body.
但其實真的好灰,就算我地只係餵佢食希爾思處方食品犬用 i/d 低脂,再加上用優質既益生菌補充品,便便都無改善。獸醫就俾我地選擇用一個長達兩個月長既抗生素療程去調理腸胃,但我地覺得抗生素
Dogs are very manipulative 🥹🤭

[details in caption] It’s been cooling off in Hong Kong and the hiking season for us has started 🐶🥾⛰️Non-toxic natural dirt has a diverse community of friendly microbes that support the immune system against allergies and other inflammatory disease, this is not only true for our dogs but also FOR US!! The biodiversity in the soil positively influences the composition of our gut microbiome, and the microbiome plays an important role in regulating our immune system to respond to pathogens and to tolerate harmless bacteria, preventing an autoimmune response and ensuring overall well-being. This is how having a wide range of friendly bacteria in our microbiome prevents us from developing allergies, this is especially true for a puppy or a human child while their immune system is developing, this is sometimes called the “farmer effect” when children living on a farm and exposed to dirt early on have less chance of developing asthma or allergies. There have been some recent researches revealing how the soil boosts our immune system: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/the-influence-of-soil-on-human-health-66885#farmerlife #hike #doghike #microbiota #healthygut #allergies #dogallergies #probiotics #healthydog #puppy #PuppyLab #puppyallergies #childallergies
