Dog food and cushings disease - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi
Tinkerbell is 9 years old and has possible Cushing disease. I took her to the vet yesterday and she has a scratched cornea which is being treated. Her blood work showed low white cell count and her thyroid levels could not be re-checked as the blood had to much fat so it has to be sent out to another lab. I already know she has a thyroid issue. Besides that, she is bloated and pants constantly.

I have been feeding her and my other 2 dogs(dachshund & pit mix) Blue Buffalo Rocky Mountain Red Meat but I would like to change to something better for Tinkerbell.
Any food recommendations? Grain free, no chicken or potatoes.

My Wylie is 11 and has had Cushings since he was about 4.5 yrs old - also has hypothyroid and a bunch of other stuff too.

Anyway - if you're looking for a kibble (vs. raw or whatever), I'd recommend Natures Logic Venison....can get on Amazon.

I really like wellness. They have a small breed food for the little dogs. The petite casseroles are really good and balanced.
