I like my porridge as it comes, but my BIL has honey on his every morning. It is sweet and supposed to be better for you than sugar. It's a treat anyway, isn't it? He is a sick little man. Deanna X

Deanna, I have never given him honey, it is worth a try as he has a very sweet tooth. Thank you! Lindy ;-)))

Oh Bless him. You look after the wee mite, and Elaine is right *GRAVY* makes the meal. And porridge? The best thing for man and beast, as my old doctor told me once! Does he like honey? Lots of people love it on their porridge. Deanna X

Elaine, I did not think of making a thick gravy, he can't chew on dog biscuits anymore. Ready mixed baby porridge might be a good idea. Thank you! Lindy ;-)))

add some thick gravy to the meat. maybe with a little cooked pasta. and a small amount of dry dog food or biscuit. Elaine x ps try ready brek insted of porrige...its a bit sweeter, or a small bit of weetabix mixed in it (a very small amount)

Scott is a twelve year old Maltese poodle with a failing liver and he has lost his appetite. He is full of life and very playful, he gets a bit disorientated at times but otherwise he is alright. His mother died two years ago from liver and kidney failure, we had to have her put down as it was the most humane thing to do. The vet has told me to let him eat what he wants, the problem is he does not know what he wants. He never took to canned food or kibble so I have always fed him cooked chicken, with the skin and bones removed mixed with rice or spaghetti for dinner. He never liked vegetables. Breakfast is whatever we eat. He used to love snacking on raw potatoes, slices of apple and pears, ice cream, potato crisps and doggy treats. For the past few weeks he has only been eating his dinner every other evening and them only picks out a little bit of chicken. He will only eat a bit of porridge if I add lots of sugar to it and snacks on cheese and bacon. Having said all that, If I give him leftover lamb or steak he will gobble it all down in an instant. Any suggestions please? Lindy ;-))
