low protien diet for dog with cronic kidney disorder

[Patti]

Sorry to hear about Sam!

[Lil Sis]

another day.. and not so tired lol


But my eyes hurt I have read so much. I have sam's test.. he has protein in his urine 2+ but he does not have protein loss. 2 of his other values are just a "hair" over normal. He did have a bladder infection and I am reading that could cause a false positive. I am going to take him back in a month a
and have the blood work done.

I will say the information from the support group on Yahoo is really great.

I ordered the food and I got a homecooked receip from balance-it.

I think I have it covered for a month anyway.


Thanks for the help

No I have to thank you... without yall making me think about what I wanted as treatment. I have called the vet 5 times, I keep thinking of more questions an wanting to be clear on what Sammy's issue is.

I do feel a lot better then I did yesterday.

I remember about this time last year when I thought I was going to loose Bailey... yall helped me then too. I just don't know what I would do without you LJ!!!

No, Shinja, you knew exactly what you were doing! That's great you called him that many times. I do that until I totally understand what is going on...and my vet is always willing to spend whatever time it takes to help me understand.

I think you are going to have your Sam for a long time...I definitely hope so! He is lucky to have a mom who will do what it takes for him!

Sounds like you are on the right track Shinja! Keep us updated on your sweet Sam.

It has been awhile and thought I would do an update on sam.

Well... he did eat the Hill's kd diet for a while (the can) then one day he just would not eat it. The vet teck said if he was hungry enough he would eat it... after about 3 days I just did not agree anymore.

Now I am homecooking a couple recipes I have, one from the balance-it site, one from my vet (well...not MY vet but a visiting vet copied one out of her manual) and one from another site.... I can look up the link if anyone would like it.

The thing is sam will eat the hill's kibble --the corn does not seam to bother him...but Bailey was eatting some too and he had a very VERY bad reaction (10 days of steriods) so I have to be soooo careful now. The days of free feeding are over. My dd has the puppy in our house too, so I have 4 dogs, each with a different nutritional need. ugh

Sam seams fine, he is eatting very well! Weight is stable. He is normal in his water intake and going potty. I think he is acting better then before. I guess I will know if I am doing the right thing we he has his next blood work --in Aug.

Glad the homecoming is working for Sammy. Please keep us updated.

Thanks for the update. I am glad Sam is doing better. Hoping for good results in August.
