He was on Tylan, Metro - you name it - hundreds at the vet; mushy, bloody, mucusy stools for months on end. Finally contacted a nutritionist - did a special homecooked diet and supplements for about 2 mths - he had firm poos (NO meds) after 1.5 days on the new diet. After 2 mths, we moved to NV's pre-made raw. Never had another issue since bc his intestine finally had a chance to heal while on the hypoallergenic diet, it was a miracle.
Kind of sounds like what I've been through. This may sound bad, but I'm going to be completely honest about the homecooking.....I don't even cook for myself, so I can't see me doing it for her too. I hope no one thinks I'm a horrible mother for saying that. I DO want her to be healthy and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. If it came down to that, I would do it, but really want that to be the last resort. What is this other food you are talking about??? Where do you get it?
