Just to be on the safe side, I always research any new food before I think about trying it with my little lady. She is 16 and wouldn't take very much to harm her badly. Now that she has survived the past ordeal, I have to be more careful than before. She was lifeless after the major operation to remove the bad tooth. The doc was worried she wouldn't pull through either.
I kept feeding her with the special food from the vet with a syringe. Also as much water as I could get her to swallow. She finally got enough strength to fight the attempt to feed her after several days. Still I kept giving her the rich food. About 8 days or so, she was moving around the house and found the water and food, started eating a little. Now, she is doing much better eating very good and drinking lots of water. It was touch and go for a few days but maybe with a little luck she will be ok again. Still blind and can't hear but we can get around that just as long as she is ok otherwise.
