Right now her weight is stable but has not gained weight. Her albumin continues to be low but stable. This is a hard disease to manage. I would love to know what is working for you. Thanks in advance.

You mentioned that you use diets from Whole Dog Journal. I personally would not do that, but that's me. I used a board certified vet nutritionist for Cookie. She was on prednisone for a long time .. he took her off of it this year. So, diet is all I am doing. She is on sweet potatoes and tilapia and Balance It as a supplement. Her food stays the same and her weight remains the same at all times.
