I would like to have discussions with someone else who lives with LS dog too. There seems to be cycles that she goes through, but I can't figure them out completely. If I could compare, I think I could improve her quality of life with more careful diet management during the low points and maybe even prevent them altogether. I will read more in this forum because this is the most informed group I've found so far.
What food and supplements is she on?
Did Dr. Tobias say no surgery or another vet?
