You really can manage it sometimes. We tried many different medications .. I hope that you can get his weight down without it stressing him. I recently put a pup on a diet with Hills W/D food....and added green beans so he would not be so upset about the decreased amount of food. Worked wonderfully.
I personally would never feed raw. The one thing you really want to avoid in this pup is infection. He is more at risk of pneumonia. I had a pup with CT for many years...and it is not what killed him. He ate grains and I honestly don't believe they have anything to do with CT. |

One of the vet techs told me today that even feeding them their regular food, with maybe greenbeans, carrots or other veggies added after lowing the amount of canned food, is just as good as the diet food. I have her on OM right now but may go back to regular food and do like he said. Just add veggies and fruits and I think she will really like that. She has only lost a pound after being on the OM for several weeks. |
That is what I meant....OM...not WD ..it definitely worked for my pup...green beans and OM.
I found that I had to really decrease the amount of the OM.
