so i am hoping the HA will be good for her if she eats it.
deb do u know if 8% is low enough fat; i know low fat is best for her right now.
the purina EN canned has 3% ; izzy do u know how to convert the fat%?
thanks again |
You talked to a vet online? And he was willing to diagnose an animal he'd never even seen? And he even recommended medications and diet for her?
Is this normal for vets to do?
The lab results you posted meant absolutely nothing to me, and maybe it was enough for him go by, but it just seems odd IMO. Too much potential liabilty for a legitimate veterinarian, I would think. Anyway, just curious.
