Since then, we have completed avoided canned chicken (she used to love it) and have avoided any food with more salt, phosporous etc...the problem we have with her is that she is very picky with her food..most of the times, we just wanted her to eat and would give her the food she loves but she usually
vomits them after few hours....So, after a lot of trial and error we have figured out the food which she can eat and also her stool is good and everything...
She has actually been doing better for the last month and eating well..Everyday we just pray that she eats the food that is also good for her health also... |
You might want to ask your vet about Mirtazapine. I had a pup with renal failure who was quite anorexic. That medicine really helped him. It is an antidepressant...in dogs it helps with nausea and increases the appetite. It does not work for all dogs, but for many it does. For my Cody it was amazing!
