| I know this might sound dumb, but try it! What have you got to loose? Go "Back to Nature." Take your dog off ALL human food, off ALL canned & Dry food. You can often get 10lb bags of chicken legs for 39 to 59 cents a pound. Turkeys are about 69 cent to a dollar. Beef chuck about $1 on sale. I boil up the poltry, feed the beef raw. My old girl needs only 1lb of food/day, plus the "soup" off the boiled poultry, & she goes for an hour walk in the park every day and weighs 80#, so she's not starving. Go natural. Bone meal can be got at health food stores, or bones given for calcium if your dog tolerates it. It's amazing what horrible problems all the additives in canned and dry food will cause. Give yours some human Vitamine C if she will tolerate it (sometimes gives diarrhea). Start at 500mg vit. C a day and go up or down as needed. No vet is going to tell you this, because they just aren't trained that way.
It is amazing what various problems will clear up if you take them off ALL human food treats, and all prepared dog foods.
You should see some improvement in 1 week to 10 days if it's going to help. No cheating on the diet! Salt the food. You can branch out to any meats, fish, (tho for some reason, tuna is hard on our dogs) kidneys, liver---give them a variety. Try it. After all, these guys were wolves, once.  |
