| Have you tried to soften his food with a little warm water or chicken stock? Maybe a small sprinkle of Parmeasean cheese. Hope all is well soon.

YEAH!!!! Those numbers are TERRIFIC!!!!!! However, given his history of LS if he were mine, I would still be taking precausions. Look into the NB Veggie Formula or something that has Chicken. I would stay away from beef or exotics and keep in the back of your mind that 'organ' meat is extremely high in purines, thus hard on the liver, so they should be avoided too! Please keep up with a yearly BAT - as this will guide you and gage his liver function. Apple pieces are a great treat! Watermelon too! | |

| Not every strategy works for every dog like children. I stop giving my dog people food all together, because she would try to manipulate me into giving her human food. She had to develop a taste for dog food, because she would never be satisfied with dog food. Before using this strategy, she would go to her food bowl take a pebble and spit it out of her mouth. LOL Now she runs to her food bowl. Dogs will not let themselves starve. Dogs can actually go two days without eating and be perfectly fine even though it best to feed them every day. She just was not hungry enough to eat her food. Last edited by Lovely05; 11-19-2008 at 04:31 PM. |

| my dee dee is on purina ha soy diet and her posts went from 76, 53 then 26 on the soy diet as soy is low in protein -- she is hypothyroid so I do not recommend soy for this reason as i am trying to see if the soy food caused her to be hypothyroid as soy can affect the thyroid protection in humans so i think it would be the same in dogs so i would recommend staying away from that even though it worked for my girls bats but dd had no symptoms of mvd just blood work showed it |
