My lil guy is 16 1/2 lbs. He is 3 1/2 lbs, never been bigger than 6lbs. He developed cataracts quite a few yrs ago. He started to decline a few months after he turned 16. Managing his bad teeth has always been a struggle and I think it finally caused an infection. Cleared that up and got results on kidney disease which I guess is very common. Also, once a day or every other day siezures have started (maybe from kidney) From tons of research, I am now giving him a homemade kidney diet, 20% fat hamburger,white rice cooked in butter and egg whites. Also on epatakin (phosphorous blocker). I am giving him DMG liquid (natural approach to siezures and other great benefits) Also ubiquinol cq10, another great benefit for aging dog and B12 w/ folic acid. I wished I would of gave him B2 years ago, helps with eye problems. I've just started all this treatment and we shall see and it was way overdue. He has bounced back alot, eating more and gaining wt. Siezure meds was horrendous on him and we thought this was it, but he is now off them and doing so much better. We are hoping siezures don't get worse and its a byproduct of other ailments and hope to clear it all up. Good Luck to you. |
