diet advice cushing's dog with several other conditions?
hello. i am seeking some advice for a diet for my 10 year old yorkie zowi. she has several medical conditions that are requiring a change in diet and any advice / suggestions that i could discuss with her dogtor would be greatly appreciated. she is currently on hills rx diet w/d only, nothing else, but this is only temporary (for a week.) as of 9/25/2011 she has atypical cushing's, a slight case of pancreatitis, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, an enlarged liver, hypothyroidism, and is overweight.
her dogtor is recommending that i decide on a food that is low in fat (less than 12%), moderate in fiber (8-17%), has highly digestable protein, and is low in sodium and low chloride. i am currently researching analysis of different foods that fit this guideline. she has been eating blue buffalo small breed chicken and brown rice formula previously for over a year. if anyone has had good results with a food matching this description, please let me know. of course, i plan on speaking with her dr before a definite choice is made. she is expecting me to call her in the next week with some options... thank you! |
