I don't know what to feed my yorkie since what she was on gave her a bad allergic reaction. we just changed vets and we are in the process of getting results back from an urinalysis. last feb our (old) vet prescribed Purina Vet prescripton diet NF-kidney function. My little one has been miserable, she developed bad allergies...terrible scooting after eating and after going to the bathroom. the main ingredient in her food (that i stopped giving her last Thursday) was CORN. I had no idea until finding this forum that it was bad for her and it could be her food causing her these problems.

With changing vets this past w/end we haven't had a chance to talk about food/diet. After reseaching this site I learned that Canidae was a good food. she is currently on that. i tried mixing in some Innova Red meat formula but the protein count 42.42 % is way too high for her. she isn't doing as well as yesterday. very mopey and sleepy and you can tell she has that look on her face like she doesn't feel great so needless to say- no more innova red meat- i think it upset her tummy. she only had a small amount of it.

i have no choice but to continue to feed her "something" so she will stay on the Canidae unless the vet tells me otherwise. OR if I can find someone here that has the same issues with oxalate crystals in urine. Maybe I can find out something better to feed my baby.

she has gone through a lot this past w/end because we also discovered she has a slight ear infection and also a yeast infection (these are the reasons we changed vets b/c they were not finding these problems with her. she has been just miserable. and then to top it off she was having bad problems with this food she was on. bad allergic reaction in her digestive tract.

I am really worried. I honestly do not know what to feed her. today i gave her Canidae (all stages) and also innova senior canned food- it has a low protein count so i know i am save there... (4.5%) but she needs to be on a low sodium content and low phosphorus content for her kidneys. i do not trust another prescription diet and i don't know what to do for her.

i guess as long as corn isn't the main ingredient she would be ok. i hope someone can help me out with what to feed her.
