I'm told there's just less of a chance of it recurring if you're prudent with their diet. And corn doesn't thrill me as a main ingredient at all.
I believe Samie is allergic to the corn. it made her scoot immediatley after eating and after a bowel movement. she then was uncomfortable, she panted more, then her trachea collapses. My husband also will not let her eat this food until we try to see if something else is out there, he researched wikipedia and it said totally the opposite when it came to the values and percentages of the foods. if the vet wants her to be on this food strictly to lose weight and do the potassium granules too. maybe there is an alternative food to feed her and still use the granules.

are you giving your dog potassium citrate granules or did you say you were giving something in a pill form?
