Who was the nutritionist that had you on low sodium? Not so sure i buy the low salt diet being the cause of thyroid and most vets do not know much about nutrition and low sodium is better on the kidneys anyway  |
Well Layla NEVER had symptoms of pancreatitis- i just always do blood panels because I home cook. So the numbers came up high and we went from there- had an ultasound- all is well- she just has high numbers.
I WAS with Susan Davis. I am now with a local nutrionist Hillary Watson who's diets are AAFCO approved- which is not the case with Susan's diet that she gave us. Our vet showed our old diet to our new nutrionist and the low sodium thing was her conclusion...Layla's new diet now has the required sodium that she needs but is also low in fat for her pancreas.
