Normally I don't think diets make much difference, and organisms are extremely adaptable, but when a dog has special needs, and can't utilize certain vitamins and minerals, than diets become extremely important. It's upsetting because I don't think a lot is known about all this, and it sounds too complex for you to sift it all out in the small amount of time you have. I say get the consult if at all possible, once she is on a diet she can handle, other things will heal better. | As always, Nancy, you have wise words for the confused. Thanks.
