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.
