Thank you. That's hopeful that your baby has done so well. I think I became overly optimistic at Annabelle's *seemingly* fast recovery. She threw up her dinner of rice with boiled chicken bits about 30-45 minutes after I fed her. I think I fed her too much at a time. As soon as she threw up she wanted to play and doesn't seem to be in pain, as she has been jumping on and off the bed at will.
I've spent all day reading up on diets, both home-cooked and the commercially prepared kind. There seem to be pros and cons on both methods. If I home cook, people say she will have to have supplements and a non-varied diet that isn't the best for getting all the nutrients she needs. The supplementation I read about seems complicated, exacting and a little overwhelming to me. The commercial diet dog foods, it is said, do not always contain the best ingredients, have recalls, etc.
For my own health I try to avoid GMOs and to eat organic/local when I can. I don't want less for her. I just don't know if I'm up to the job of managing every supplement she might need in the amounts she might need. I also like the idea of being able to put kibble down for when she may be hungry when I'm not home or when we leave her at her groomers when we go out of town, which is fairly rare but still a concern.
I think I've got analysis paralysis and am feeling kind of overwhelmed at this point with trying to make the right decisions. I've done nothing else all day and into the night now.
I found a Dr. Rebecca Remillard at petdiets(dot)(com). Is this the Dr. you were referring to? I think I've been to that site before, but I've been researching so much that it's all jumbled together in my head.
