The vet said no they don't put healthy dogs down, but they were insisting she be put down, so I just told them we would take her and the couple just gave her to us. She is occasionally sick but mostly it's when she eats something she shouldn't . She's had two episodes where she went completely off her back legs and was a bit disorientated and confused she was also shaking, I gave her about a quarter of a teaspoon of honey and within a few minutes she was back to her bouncy self. My hubby thinks it's because she got over excited as sometimes she is quite exciteable. So while she's been with the vet I've been reading about diets and trying to find out what's best for her. |
Are you looking to do a home cooked diet? If so, you can request a consult at petdiets for $250 which will include a home made recipe for this medical problem and also commercial food recommendations. There is a process, you can read about it on the site. You could also go to BalanceIt and request a customization for this problem, but they too will need your vet input.
Please be careful with making diets found on the internet. They are usually not balanced and are not made by veterinary nutritionists. There are also commercial dog foods made for diabetes that your vet can recommend.
