Fat doesn't digest quickly and I wouldn't feed when running Bill if I read it right ?

Ta double figures with teams a jukels and when I say double figures I mean double hundreds. It works seen hyperglemic jukels snap out a there episodes in a few mome ts when the tripe fat his utilised tripe his one of the easiliest flesh items two digest same goes fa the fat offa it. And fa using nought when running very hard big numbers athats your perogative yall. Not get the same results from the jukel pfully  handled correctly atb bill

Can’t understand most of that , but parts I did 

fat is fat and burns slower and is the best source of energy and fed long before you go out ;it’s not instant like you say , where sugar or  a similar fast carb and water would be

I wouldn’t have thought fat would get into the system like that bill, the dog I got now had problems with muscles cramping up after a handful of continuous runs which I expect is brought on by the muscles getting fatigue. Spoke to the vets they wanted to do all the usual shit that would cost lots of money, blood tests and other different examinations. Asked about it on this forum and turns out half a teaspoon of bicarbonate over his food daily cured the problem.

my dog was having the same problems with cramp trigger.he would start screaming while looking at his back thigh's 

fuji on here recommended tinned tomatoes mixed in his food a few times a week.

its the potasium level being low.

i buy the whole plum tomatoes in a tin.not the allready chopped as i think they are all the scraps of tomatoes gathered up and put in the tin.

the dogs never had cramp since...

What happens if you have a low potassium level?
In hypokalemia, the level of potassium in blood is too low. A low potassium level has many causes but usually results from vomiting, diarrhea, adrenal gland disorders, or use of diuretics. A low potassium level can make muscles feel weak, cramp, twitch, or even become paralyzed, and abnormal heart rhythms may develop.

spot on.my dog is a fussy eater.but loves the tomatoes maybe he knows the benefit from them.like a pregnant woman craving certain food's im quite sure thats it.

have thought about it before.

Why do you crave certain foods when pregnant?
It seems logical that cravings might be due to something lacking in the diet, or an increased need for certain vitamins and minerals. ... Food cravings and sudden food aversions may have something to with the effects of pregnancy hormones, which can change the way some foods taste and smell.

Yep  pottasium has that affect use that fa muscle cramps but a jukel usi g up his reserves of energy needs fats putting back in the system I have used this ta good affect fa yrs Trigg topping up the energy levels running out a steam his quite often burnt out calories needed. Totally different than cramps. Atb bill

The key to this problem is two fold ,all my whippets including crosses along with my two greyhound whippets are fussy eaters .The first thing Id do is get a coat for her &  next Id up the fat content of her food ,this can be a problem as most don't like the fat but I sneak it in but mixing it up after mixing and feeding it warm .

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Hi to all, so I've never owned a whippet before and have encountered an irritating habit that got worse in the last month of ferreting and was wondering if anyone out there has had success minimising noise during ferreting?
      So he runs prey silently, almost never barks at home so I was very happy going into his first winter, but.... when the ferret slot machine is not paying out fast enough for his liking he yips at the holes he senses are near the underground action. On top of that, if he runs a bolted rabbit to ground again he persistently barks at the hole while constantly looking at me as if to say "get them ferrets over here mate, I've got one for you"
      I've a very experienced collie lurcher who is a dream to ferret with but the whippet seems to make no reference to the good stuff he does. Any ideas on managing this?

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea
