Kathy, Tink was on Phenobarbitol and then Potassium Bromide when her liver started having problems. Since April she has been on NOTHING! Her last Grand Mal was in August and the one before that was in June. She has petit mal seizures where she just stands still and stares into space or through you without seeing you; sometimes she trenbles. They are few and far between and the vet said she will always have them and he doesn't want to medicate her for them. After what she went through, I am fine with this non-medication treatment. Her blood sugar was always fine and the seizures are from brain damage when she had histoplasmosis that went to her brain. We have her stomach problems under control with cooked people food and some Nutro lamb and rice kibble. I just boil chicken and add vegetables, cut everything in small pieces ( I used to blend it in the blender when she was so sick), and she chomps it right down. I started adding kibble around August I think. Shortly after her last seizure. I wanted to add Wellness but she won't touch it. Her vet used a nutritionist from the UW Vet School to help me with her diet when she first came back home. I give her chicken and lamb and salmon but no beef. I've not tried raw.
I've been trying to find a nitritionist close to you but it appears that it is Madison, Chicago, or Champaign. I guess Chicago would be closest. What have you found other than Susan?
I read up about Hunting Dog Syndrome. I had never heard of it before. I left a message for my vet to let me know if he can recommend someone.
Hugs from me and nose licks from Tink. |
