I had planned to do one this week just because it was soemthing i though wouldn't hurt (this was before her test results came back high) and then put it off until we knew what was going on...
Layla also can't have turkey...  allergic to that aswell. Right now she is eating oatmeal, scrambled egg and yogurt. And then beef and veggies for supper.
Also, if it was her liver, wouldn't she be puking after her meals? Layla's diet is 90% protein, and she has never thrown up after eating, so i've never been worried abotu her liver.. but again. i'll be doing the BAT eventually.
She is only eating treats right now that have extremely low fat- i got some at a local store that are made from sweet potato and carrot- and they have no fat  |
Allergic to turkey too???
Aren't eggs high in fat compared to other protein?
There is about 2.5 grams of fat per ounce and if my math is correct, chicken contains about .88 grams per ounce. I used to give Ellie egg all the time but really am trying not to anymore because of this. I haven't been able to talk to her nutritionist about it yet... Please check my math on this...I could be wrong.
I would not count on the liver enzymes being elevated if it is the liver but you have been feeding a lot of protein and I'd think she would've started showing symptoms if the liver was an issue. Then again, we can't be sure. Not all dogs with liver disease will throw up after eating. What is the vet thinking it could be if it isn't pancreatitis?
