Do you know how severe her MVD is? Hopefully, it IS something you can manage with diet and supplements. It will be lifelong monitoring.
We had two abnormal BATS - only mildly abnormal, however. My Vet is insistent that Lucy does not need a special rx food; just to moniter her protein intake. Pretty vague, huh?
I actually think I've been pretty loosey-goosey with it because she was doing so well; now we've had a couple issues (related or not) that scared me.
I had her on Wellness Limited ingredient (or some such) that was only 20% protein; fairly low compared to EVO, Blue Buffalo, etc. No beef but I did give chicken and Lamb.
Now I'm sticking to strictly chicken/fish/egg white and WAS trying Natural Balance Vegetarian but she is not liking that too well.
If your dog is asymptomatic and you have her on the special food . . so far so good.
Has your regular Vet given you any advice? |
You should try to get those numbers down to 16% protein.
