We're going to the holistic vet today. She said don't try to give him the pills yet. I think at this point, he'd eat canned food well, as bad as I hate canned, and most of it junk. |
Bnot, is Adonis' phosphorous level listed on the bloodwork? Is so, and it is elevated that could likely explain the inappetance and nausea. Please ask your vet about using a phosphorous binder if the number is elevated. Your vet can prescribe a binder or you can purchase Aluminum Hydroxide gel powder without a prescription through thriving pets.com. It is a tasteless powder that you can mix into food and it works very quickly to lower the phos level. All dogs with kidney insufficiency need to be on a low phosphorus diet. There is a free website called nutrituiondata.com. It only works with Firefox browser. You can create a free account and then check the phosphorous level of most foods. Evn if you are feeding one of the prescription kidney diets it is likely that you are going to have to supplement Adonis diet with some hopefully low phosphorous foods in order to gt her to eat. There are also several safe options for kidney dogs that your vet can prescribe for the nausea.
