You might want to call and talk to a holistic vet, they have more experience with animals dietary needs. Most vets aren't taught much about dog's dietary requirements and the info they do receive is sponsored by the big pet food companies! That's why most vets will recommend certain brands over another. They also have dietary departments at most veterinary schools which you might be able to contact and ask some questions. My Brooke had doubled her weight from 3 lbs to 6 lbs while she was on prednisone. After she got off the steroid I fed her 1/4 cup Innova Evo and about 2 teaspoons of fat free yogurt or cottage cheese. She dropped the weight rather quickly and she is now back down to about 3.5 lbs. Hope you find some help.
