i think it does make sense to do this test to avoid the allergen
however he will be putting her on low residue which has all the above including corn grits; so i am sure her GI tract will react;
we'll just have to wait and see; the next food will be ultra Z/D
by the way linda how does ur dog like to Z/D; is he eating it fine? |
He is one of my fosters. He has been exhibiting signs of IBD and a fecal showed nothing; so we are trying food to see if it helps. If it does not then we will get into further testing. Maybe once/week or every 2 weeks he will have a bout of loose yellow stools....and sometimes a stool with gelly like, blood. It only lasts for a day when it happens. SO....this is a guess. He has never eaten this food before today, so i cannot give you a review on it.
I had looked at some threads here and saw that many do use it with success and since it also was the one my vet suggested we start with, that is what I did.
I agree with you....and I would NOT use a food that had corn in it...no way. No matter what the vet said. (I would definitely ask him why he is suggesting corn....and ask him about Z/D....I don't like to tell people not to listen to their vet...he would have to give me a good reason for that food...and I doubt he really could) That was the first thing I looked at with the Z/D...if it had corn.
