There really isn't any LS food to buy at a Petshop. The 2 that are recommended you must get from your Vet.
*I think* they are the L/D (wet) and there is a Royal Cain (dry) that is often prescribed for LS dogs - but your Vet should know this.
The problem with feeding too much protein to dogs with LS is that it can cause Hepatic Encepthalopathy (H.E.) ~ so things to watch for are:
Drooling
Vomiting
Pacing
Circling
Inability to sit still for any length of time and drinking lots of water
A stuporous look
Head pressing
Staggering
Listlessness
Runny nose
Blank look
Stare
Lethargy
Not all dogs display all the symptoms, but you will get to know the ones your dog displays.
P.S. I think that is great if you can locally raise funds to help the costs.
And in case you aren't yet familiar with YT - I just wanted to give you a head ups that according to YT rules, we are not allowed to do any type of fund raising or asking for donations here on the board.
