The only way I knew she had a problem was from pre-spay blood work.
At 1/4 tab per day, it will take 120 days to use up the Marin, so I'm ordering everything else to have handy when I want to switch.
She turns her nose up at canned food, and I'm just giving her the tiniest bit of boiled chicken and rice mixed in kibble. Would it be ok to try a little egg or cottage cheese as an alternative to her chicken bites?
I'm just winging it here to get started learning, as the vet hasn't actually recommended a diet change yet, though she agreed that it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut back on protein.

If she likes chicken and rice, you could try the recipe I make for Lady.
1 cup raw rice
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 hard boiled egg
1 cup diced chicken breast
1 T canola oil
1 tsp bone meal
1 tsp salt substitute
You need to give an infant multivitamin drop daily with this recipe.
