But anywho, after literally a month of diarrhea and every test under the sun and trying a few other foods (including my homecooking).... putting him on RC Selected Protein Whitefish and his poop was 100% normal the next day. We are now 2+ weeks on it and I couldn't be more thrilled to see NORMAL poop!
I used to be one of those "rx food haters" but desperate times call for desperate measures. And all of this mess with certain foods causing heart failure because the companies do not do testing or proper quality control has me really understanding and respecting the science that goes into some of these companies.
The Hills recall is concerning, for sure. I am not sure how I feel about it. I am disappointed as I thought they had much higher standards and things like this wouldn't get missed but I also realize recalls will happen and I am glad it's voluntarily and that they are catching the problem. It is just kind of a shame because some dogs lives depend on these RX foods. |
I 100% agree with you on all of it including how you feel about the recall that was me too. Prescription food saved Callie’s life. If he has IBD that is caused by food allergies so he could definitely be allergic to corn and chicken. I’m glad things are now going well with Jackson!
