As soon as I changed her diet to L/D and starting giving her Lactulose; she turned in to a crazy wild puppy so she did have symptoms after all but so subtle I overlooked them. I just figured she was growing out of puppyhood at 6 months and eating less which is normal too. If they suspect a liver disease of any kind, I highly suggest you inquire about changing diet and lactulose. These two things help lower the toxins which is causing the pup to not feel well. I am not a vet but I am merely passing on information from my experience to you. I realize every case is different but please do ask your vet. |
THANK YOU, how old was your puppy when you started L/D?
