I agree w/ Nancy that we shouldn't generalize about it being Petzlife, I also don't think we should assume it's bc of raw or diet. It could be Lacy's system on its own (genetic), and it could be totally idiopathic as well.

Humans who eat very well and exercise can develop high cholesterol or other things - it's really not all that different for other creatures.

It seems like many have had great success with her and I think I would feel better too actually consulting a nutrtionist rather than just having a website calculate diets (balanceit.com). I want someone to be able to tell me why we are feeding certain ingredients and supplements.

I've always been a big supporter of raw...I'm not as confident now, but I am in no way convinced that raw isn't best for most dogs. There are so many who have fed it to their dogs for years and years and it's cured different problems and their dogs have lived very long and healthy lives. My cats eat raw and Rylie is still eating raw right now.

Also with Petzlife...I am only concerned it might have been a contributing factor...I don't think there would ever be any way to prove it. And it seems like most dogs do fine on it. I just wonder if the alcohol in the product is too much for SOME dogs....I guess in the same way that feeding raw doesn't work for SOME dogs.

I too wonder if this is something Lacy was predisposed too. There is just not enough info on Hepatic Lipidosis in dogs to know I guess.
