| Sonja, I'm so sorry to hear your Mitzi girl is sick and I hope you and the vet can get her feeling better soon. When Tink was so sick last summer and her liver and kidneys were failing, we did sub-cutaneous water and it helped her enormously - but again, she was really sick and could hardly drink. That's when I started her on home cooked broth and home cooked meat and vegetables, mostly chicken and beef. My vet wanted her on Science Diet, but I didn't want to put her on it for the same reason - corn allergies. The vets at the emergency hospital were all in favor of home cooked. I'm sure there are some on YT that can help you more with Mitzi's needs. I'm sending up some prayers for your special girl and you. |

| Thank you all so very much for all your prayers and good wishes! Mitzi is doing better today. She was even chasing the geese off the boardwalk... LOL! Those geese are twice her size but she doesn't care! She eats her prescription food now. The dogtor said we have to try it b/c that's what she needs right now and we will deal with any skin problems later. Hmmmmm... I sure hope he's right! Anyway, her bad breath is gone and she seems to feel better all together. Please keep her in your prayers... THANK YOU!!! |

LUV my 3 Furrs & Alex Donating Member | Sonja i am so sorry to hear this about Mitzi. My baby booboo has problems with his liver so he is on a diet with a very low protein and he is also on lactulose which keeps his liver clean from all the crap. I really hope she'll get better soon. Lots of hugs and kisses to all of u. You are in my thoughts and prayers Maria and the babies

| What does the vet hope to accomplish with the antibiotics? What are you supplementing her homecooked diet with? Oatmeal is high in phosphorus and beef might be. Oatmeal should probably be avoided.

The dry K/D has ethoxyquin in it and the canned has pork which may be hard on the liver. Maybe check the phos. in the L/D canned? I think it is a bit of a better food.
