i just have to tell you (i'm sure you have heard it OVER & OVER..) BUT, Susan Davis is absolutely amazing!! She has REALLY helped Lauren and Jodie BOTH, SO SO MUCH!! (among many others)
so, i am glad you are able to speak with her!! i will check back and see how the appt. went!!
have you looked into the honest kitchen for lacy? that is what lauren and jodie feed their girls (who have pancreas issues) and they are doing SO well on it..  i know she will do what is BEST for you, as an individual.. which is SO SO GREAT.. she is AMAZING!! and i just KNOW she will help you guys out a ton!! (even if it's just to give you piece of mind, that what you are doing/feeding is right for lacy!)  but, anyway.. just wanted to throw that out there, about the honest kitchen, in case you haven't looked into it! (which i'm SURE you have  )
xoxo. praying for Lacy!! can't wait to hear what Susan Davis has to say!!  |
thanks. Yes, I've heard great things about her and am really looking forward to the consult and hearing what they have to offer. I want to do a homecooked diet for Lacy, but I do want to find something I could easily use in case we need to travel and don't have a fridge or microwave (which is rare but a backup is always good).

With Sissy, I really wanted to keep her on as much of the freeze-dried raw as possible. So what we did was put her on Embark (she is off all chicken products) for one meal, and Preference mixed with cooked white fish and slamong for her other meal. She will be on the probiotic and Vitamineral Green forever!!! We also use THK Sparkle supplement, which is all herbs that support liver function as well as being great for skin and coat!!!! She was on Lypozyme for a full bottle and on BioLiv as well.
Susan actually diagnosed Sissy with an intestinal issue before we got our Spec CPL results back indicating early stage PLE. I am anxious to have her blood work redone to see where we are, as both Susan and our vet our optomistic that her levels will normalize.
Good luck with your consult. I'm quite certain you will be very pleased with both Dr. Gordon and Susan. Please let us know how it goes and feel free to call me anytime!!!!! |
Thanks. I got her records faxed off today and our consult is saturday morning. So I will let you all know how it goes
