Spot on Patricia.

I will tell you a funny story which some have heard. I was judging an exemption show (companion show). I looked across the ring and there was a young Irish Setter and it looked a funny colour, when I got to it and put my hands on it it was sticky and yellow, I asked the exibitor what had she put on her dogs coat, she proudly anounced egg, I said egg she said well my breeder said that egg was good for the coat I said in her ear, I think your breeder meant that the egg was to go in the dog not on the dog. We both laughed but that same girl continued to show Irish Setters and had 2 champions but didn't use egg ON the coat again.

Gill with no egg on Mabeleens coat


Totally unrelated but  similar story.  One of our dotors gave a mother a suppository for her child.  The next time the mother saw the doctor she told him that the child hated 'that tablet' even though she had crushed it up in jam because it was much too big for her to swallow: Rolling Eyes

Eggs...
Just a cautionary note....

Egg yolk is great for the dog to eat raw, but the white should be lightly cooked.

There is a nasty enzyme in the whites that destroys absorption of B vitamins.  There are many cases of dogs who have gotten raw eggs with raw whites that loose coat and develope skin problems from vit. B deficiency.   So be aware....

Not quite as bad as one of our son's working cockers - she leaps straight into it - sometimes we have to scramble down to help her out.  When we take her for a walk we put her on the lead when we get close to the dyke.
