The food was so bad for them. oh and the vet also says to me- well you have to decide what to treat- the condition or the allergies??? she never seemed to care that my dog was itching herself out of control every minute she was awake- didn't care that she was losing her hair- her solution was to just keep her on the CLaritin, Yeah the claritin was horrible for sadie- made her bp rise to 265! nearly killed my dog. then she prescribed amloyipine and my dog fainted from being on so much medication. I know this friend of mine tells me that we are going to the best of the best- but my husband and i are really really having a hard time believing this. |
When we found out Ellie's bile acids were up, we needed to put her on reduced protein. I didn't want to do Hills, so I asked about Royal Canin. I got some of that and Ellie was SOOO itchy from the corn. The vet never said keep her on it to treat the condition. She couldn't even recommend Science Diet at this point because it has corn in it also. She said we could go back to homecooked because I wanted to anyway...
I shouldn't have used the Royal Canin in the first place (and the vet wouldn't have cared) but I did...oops.
