I hope she feels better and it is not her pancreas.
I know you have your nutritionist but have you ever thought about consulting with susan davis as a second opinion as she has helped a ton with ple and pancreas and ibd issues. She uses a lypozene product which helps so the pancreas does not have to work as hard it is digestive enzymes. I have a discount I did not use yet and Elly said her dog is liking the purina ha i sent her so she may not need it. Just a thought but know you know your stuff just thought i would throw it out there as i met her a week ago and she seems very nice and i thought i would consult with her too about dee dee just to get more info on home cooking as i know it would help dee dee but not comfortable and do not want to borrow anymore trouble as need a break lol
| Thanks for the suggestion.
Susan's recipes don't appear to meet AAFCO guidelines, so they are not balanced for long-term feeding. She may have some ingredient suggestions, but we are so limited (on protein that I'm willing to handle especially) and I can tell what Ellie's intestines will and won't take just by observation. We don't get into a whole bunch of supplements simply because I prefer western medicine and not holistic, etc. When a good number of vets who aren't interested in holistic products start to notice something good is on the market, then I take notice (i.e. probiotics which btw don't seem to work for her or not to any great extent anyway). If she needs digestive enzymes, we will likely go right to the most trusted by vets (and likely most powerful), Viokase. And I have some concerns about recommending the raw diet for liver compromised dogs, etc. She has done an awesome job helping many YT'ers, but it just isn't for us. :) |
