I am giving her sodium free spring water and she is on hills d/d for now. wanted to switch her food to maybe raw- but we also discovered she has pancreatitis as of yesterday. we will have to talk to the im spec about diet as well. I know low sodium, low phos. those are all low in the raw diet but with so much going on with her I don't want to do anything just yet. I am so scared to give her the amlodipine. but we ALSO do not know if the amlodipine caused her to faint. I still think she had a seizure bc she had a bowel movement both times she went down. first time she was out for about 3 seconds and the second time about 15 seconds. scared me half to death. omg did that scare me. i am still re-living it. |
she probably did have a seizure if she had bowel movements. i'm sorry i cannot be much help because i do not know anything really of these BP meds. the specialist will be able to help you more, tho they probably are not going to have anything good to say about a raw diet. I'd do what ever it is to get her bp and such under control first and then once she's stable you can look into other diets to help with the protein and pancreatitis. one thing at a time. i do not think her high BP has anything to do with diet.
