 Continued from above post:
I reread your post... any reason other than your dog’s age for the recommendation to start a senior diet? Was bloodwork done? If not I’d start there.
That said, my Finny was really slowing down, sleeping most of the day. When I changed Chloe’s food to stop her itching, I thought about Finny. She has been having seizures about twice a month, and I had videoed one and showed the vet early on when we first got her and nothing was really done because they were so few and far between and they really weren’t sure it was a seizure because it was so minor and told me keep an eye on her. So I did. Then with the Covid lockdown, she started having two a day. Of course I’m panicking thinking brain tumor she’s going to die so I was just trying to make her comfortable till I could get her in to see the vet. She is 12 years old now, so thinking senior diet, kidney diet, etc.
After receiving the sample food for Chloe and looking at the ingredients, and reading the propaganda, I decided to try Finny on it, because if her kidneys are failing, I could cut some of the protein as one has to add it (it’s a base mix), it’s dried ingredients, so no preservatives, and Wow! It has absolutely turned her life around. She’s running around, barking at everything (her normal lol), aware, alert, back to her old self. I also added the prebiotic and probiotic blend with digestives enzymes, which I also believe are very important, especially too for Finny as I suspect part of her problem is to do with her tummy/ digestion.
Both my pups are bouncing off the walls, less eye goop, super attentive, overall really doing well. I am planning to get bloodwork on both of them soon, to be sure. |
