Do you have the name of what the vet wants you to use?
Does the supplement that you are using contain salt/sodium? No, if I read your post right? It looks like she needs .7mg of iodine per pound of food if my source is accurate.
I don't think your vet is just wanting to use her nutritionist. I think she may be honestly concerned because to just tell the owner to start adding salt could leave room for error. So I would either do what the vet wants or if you really trust your nutritionist, talk to her about the exact amount of salt that should be added.
Out of curiosity though, how did they check for this? Was it is specialized blood panel? How is her thyroid? |
Crystal I was hoping you'd see this
the vet wants me to use this:
HILARY'S BLEND supplement for home-made meals
but I can't find a list of ingredients- however it is meant for home cooking- which the one I am using is too.
She did not check for this- she sees that Layla has not lost weight (but again- we weren't actively working on that *embarrassed*), her nutritionist said Layla's diet was lacking iodine- she put two and two together and that is what she arrived at.
So you think i should just go with this new supplement?
Can I not weigh out .7mg of salt per pound of food?
