| Home cooking help needed My vet suggested that I try home cooking for Zoey since she is getting tired of her rx food. He gave me the website Balanceit.com. I am having difficultly getting anything from this site. My computer does not like the site! Do you home cookers know of some good sites or recipes I can get for Zoey and her pancreatitis issues? Thanks for any help you can give me.

| Gina, Your vet will have to approve the recipe and there are two options for pancreatitis. One is moderate fat restriction and the other is more fat restriction. You should ask your vet which diet is appropriate. Then you basically fill it out and they fax the diet to your vet for approval. If you have trouble, you could email Dr Delaney at BalanceIt and ask him for help. I would not use any diets you find online as they are likely not balanced by a vet nutritionist.

| here's a couple of kindle books (I think they also have paperback version) that are geared towards either sick or good health of the dogs, might run these by your vet. Dr. Pitcairn's New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats - Kindle edition by Richard H. Pitcairn D.V.M.. Crafts, Hobbies & Home Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. Home Cooking For Sick Dogs: 5 Ingredient Recipes For The Crock Pot - Kindle edition by Janie Knetzer. Cookbooks, Food & Wine Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

| I personally will only use diets formulated by a vet nutritionist. I presently home cook for three of my pups. One has lymphangectasia and she was diagnosed in 2011...I credit the vet nutritionist with saving her life. You might want to consult with a vet nutritionist .... you can find one at: www.acvn.org I use Balance It.

| no prob :3 I plan to get at least one of these books eventually for my girl(s) the Dr. Pitcairn's book has some really good ratings. Like I said, wouldn't hurt to run the books by the vet to see what they think personally :3

| I would vert much like to talk to you about your pup with lymphangectasia. I have a 12 year old diagnosed with the same about 2 years ago. We see an internal medicine vet and nutrition vet. Abigail eats a home cooked diet of sweet potato, crab and many supplements. We have tried many diets but this one seems to work the best. I worry about her everyday. She weighs 4 pounds. Right now her weight is stable but has not gained weight. Her albumin continues to be low but stable. This is a hard disease to manage. I would love to know what is working for you. Thanks in advance. Amy |
