One can't get off medication with any food. We tried home cooked, every holistic and veterinary special diet. I have supplied the local animal shelter until expiration dates. He's on medication for life and a home cooked diet high in fiber. I hate to say this but I dream about his messy poop. |
Wow, you sure have been through a lot
I say if the food is working, then absolutely stick with it. But Tetley doesn't seem to have a severe health issue (at least IMHO, anyway), just needs the "right" food. The vet gave her the Pediatric (puppy, I guess?) formula, not one of the specialized formulas. I would think that IBD or colitis would be irritated by corn, as it's highly indigestible. I wonder?
But hey, whatever works, right?! I feel for you having to make three different meals at feeding time, but I bet you have it down to a science now, huh?
