A yorkie owner on my yahoo groups her dog died of this at age 6 and diet is critical for this disease she said. They did an autopsy on the dog and she sent me the autopsy report and all the info she had on it so just wanted to share the above things are what you look for with this disease. |
Thanks so much for this info. Lola had dropped so much weight within 2 weeks, from 6.5 to 4.2 lbs. Now she back up to 6 lbs. I like her to weight around 6.5. Yes diet is everything. She is eating White rice with ground lean turkey and peas and I will give sweetpotato as a snack or treat. I feed her 2 times a day seperate from my others. She has not had diarrhea since this diet! I am weaning her off the prednisone. I am only giving it to her Mon, Wed, Frid. Next week it will be Mon and Friday. She is no longer taking Metro so we are on the lookout for any changes with her BM. If she starts having the diarrhea then he will biopsy and histopathology.
