Please listen to the posters above. You either need to follow your vets advice and feed what the vet recommended or else consult veterinary nutritionist and follow their advice. Lymphangectasia is very hard to get under control and doesn't have a great prognosis if they don't respond. It is not something to guess at. Columbo has PLE caused by severe IBD. Columbo's vet said that a novel protein (one they hopefully have not been exposed to yet) is a good place to start. He is on Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Select Protein PV (potato venison). He has PLE/severe IBD and almost died from it a month ago. Fortunately, his had not quite progressed to lymphangectasia yet (but was beginning to). If you decide to do a purchased food instead of home cooked, ask your vet about it. It is prescription and comes in canned and kibble. We have both for variety. Also, the canned is good for giving medication and the kibble is good for treats and travel. The food you mentioned was a chicken protein and I would think you should get away from that as the protein source. Regardless, you are correct that the diet is very important, so you definitely need to follow the vet or nutritionists advice. |
