I'm also hoping I can give Dr. Wakshlag a couple of treat recipes that I've found that he can possibly modify so they will be ok for her, or maybe he can give me a recipe himself that would be good. My baby likes treats, and I'm sad that there doesn't seem to be anything that's ok to give her!!
Thanks everyone for your support, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! |
I think I've told you this before, but if she's hungry and eating well, I see no reason to restrict the amount she's getting. I would continue with the 4 meals per day of equal quantities, just increase the amount. She should not act hungry. If she does, the amount of calories per day needs to be increased. Does she not like carrots, apples, watermelon, or anything like that?
That is so ridiculous that you had to ask your vet for antibiotics!! I'm glad you switched vets. It seems like the new one listens and is much more cooperative.
