 could be wacky??!!
This is a little out there and maybe a little too Californian, but ever since Latte had allergy problems, the vet recommended a fish and sweet potato diet. I buy frozen whiting or catfish (it's pretty cheap) and cook it for Latte. I microwave fresh yams and cut these up and put them on her plate. I sprinkle some cheese on her fish and she goes to town. She also likes canned tuna (albacore, of course!) I only feed her this once a day. Her treats are corn and wheat free. I think her allergies are mostly environmental, but I try to give her very little corn, wheat or chicken. During this time of year, with the wind blowing and lots of pollen, she takes a quarter tablet of a cortisone every other day. There's very little scratching and only a little paw licking. (And truthfully, she only licks her paws right before she goes to sleep.) Oh, one more thing, she gets Rice Krispies for treats and sometimes she has them for breakfast! (She used to like Honey Nut Cheerios, but now she's into Rice Krispies.) This may all sound a little wacky, but it works for us, and she's the most darling dog. |
