I'll look into the nutritionist but we have them on a special diet to prevent calcium oxolate stones. It's worked well for many dogs including my own.
The goal of the diet is to avoid high oxolate foods, avoid certain types of minerals and vitamins which contribute to stones, and give lots of fluids. We add supplements to help balance out phosphorus in meat, and vitamins like B complex and E.
Pilot has a moderate luxating patella and his collapsing trachea is getting worse as time goes on. He's not one to run around the house like Pax. Perhaps you are right, maybe since he's not going on walks anymore he's not as hungry.
Pilot was a little picky this morning but did eat after adding more veggie puree to his meal. He also ate some pineapple this morning. He ate lunch this afternoon without much fuss.
Perhaps this is the new normal? |
