My dog stopped eating her regular food when she was very small and I was afraid she would get hypoglycemic (she wouldn't eat the liquid they gave me in case she didn't eat nor would she take Karo)...so I scrambled an egg for her and gave her a very small amount on top of her regular food. Then someone told me the dog would get high cholesterol so I bought the liquid egg whites only (pure egg whites that you can pour out of a container).
I pour that into microwavable egg cup, cook it in the microwave for a minute, cut it up, and store it in plastic containers and feed her a very small amount each morning (when I say small, I mean less than a teaspoon) on top of her regular small bites and she seems to go for that and her regular food.
I asked my vet and she said she saw no problem with it at all, but you should ask your vet's opinion to ease your own mind.
p.s. sometimes I sprinkle (again a very small amount) of parmesan cheese (very insignificant amounts) ... she seems to smell it and begins to eat her regular food.
I also have a container that is filled with chicken breast that is cut up that I use...again, very small amounts along with her regular food because I don't want her to neglect that food. She is six months old now and seems okay (although she did have stomach issues after her spaying)...but as of today, she is back to her old self.
I note her coat is really coming in shiney and healthy looking. |
