Avoid spinach it is very high in oxalates and our breed is prone to stones...also in my experience, feeding spinach has thrown off kidney values and resulted in crystals in the urine after only a few days of feeding so I no longer give spinach or dark leafy greens to them. |
Whenever I allow my father to serve too many meals in a row, Max quickly gains a few ounces from too many peas. Have to keep the peas in check.
I learned recently about the oxalates in spinach when I was reading diet info for myself. A bunch of my favorite foods are high on the list for oxalates. It is a wonder that I don't have kidney stones.
I bet that was scary to see the effects of spinach on your babies. Yikes!
