The vet said it was allergies -- we took her off Merrick food and went on ZD food. Then she was diagnosed with pancreatitis and colitis -- she had horrible episodes of bloody & mucous poop. Was at the vet a lot in the past few months. So I took her off the ZD and began feeding chicken and rice (with alternate salmon/string beans/carrots) -- she loves it but I know this is not a balanced diet but she had poop some diarrhea with a little bit of bloody mucous last friday. but overall -- no more stomach issues. My bigger issue is she is now chewing her paws a lot and scratching some more. I am not sure if she is allergic to the chicken or rice or she was groomed last week (is that making her itchy?) I am at a loss.
what can I feed her? I am open to all suggestions. Home cooking, soft food or kibble? I just have to be mindful of her not eating food high in fat or Omega 6 because of her pancreatitis. Any help would be appreciated. |
It could be environmental allergy's have you talked to your vet about using an allergy medicine? If you want to home cook you should get a recipe from a vet nutritionist and use a supplement or it could do more harm then good for your dog.
