I know they did a complete work up and told me that she is not diabetic and that her kidney function was fine. I too had questioned the ziwipeak since I had read the protein and fat content and both seemed extremely high. My vet on my possibly 5th phone call after the bloodwork and urine analysis was done, said it was fine. I have cut out everything but her food and she is as usual starving. Can someone recommend a different food. She used to be on the prescription food WD or RD from I believe Hills, from my vet and then used Natural Balance reduced calorie, over the counter. A person at a different store talked me into ziwipeak saying it is one of the BEST foods.. should be for $34.00 for a 2 pound bag. I must admit at the beginning she seemed great, energetic as I said, but something has caused enormous changes in her, especially hair loss. She is doing well on her diet, but I now feel as long as I cut her food back on any brand she will be just fine.

Any recommendations on a food, any high quality food, raw or not, would again be appreciated. She is not in any pain, at least that we see. She doesn't cry, she urinates fine, and plays as much as she ever did. Loves going in the car.. so on all other accounts she seems fine. Thank you, thank you thank you. My husband feels that we should get another opinion but unsure of whether to take her to a specialist now (derm or immune) or another vet. Again, advice would be great!
