And they flagged this as high.
I'm debating having him retested regardless of what this new vet says. Before, Jack was on a high protein food. I thought this might be best for him at the time because he is a very active dog. After that, I decided not to continue feeding it because both him and Madden picked around the food. I changed it to another holistic food but I believe it was higher in protein as well. I'm almost wondering if the low protein, magnesium reduced diet is helping. I'm very tempted to compare the tests and see if there is a difference between the tests. Does this sound awful? Any other suggestions. |
honestly with those numbers i would never redo bat as it is obviously mvd and not a shunt so stick to low protein food and he should be fine. You just need to stick to 18% or below if having any symtpoms and if no symptoms 22% or less. My girl had 73, 54 and now 26 on low protein diet - these are all post figures her pre was always 3
