Lady had three bouts of HGE when I switched her to vegetarian kibble (first Avoderm, then Natural Balance) so I wondered if vegetables are hard to digest?
Lady has other issues like diabetes and apparently now her pancreas is not producing digestive enzymes which triggered the HGE. I guess that is common in long term diabetics and dogs with chronic pancreatitis. Anyway, she is doing great on a recipe with chicken, brown rice, egg and cottage cheese as the main ingredients. I add green beans, blueberries, peeled apple, etc. as a treat, but her recipe doesn't call for it. She does get a multivitamin daily, though.
I know people who have had wonderful results with Dr. Dodds liver cleansing diet, but Lady can't have it because of the white potato.
