Hi Ben, I just joined this group in on Christmas day and boy, did Daisy and I get the best gift! I was reading your posts and the replies and I swear, after all the encouraging attention and advice I got, plus knowing how many other people have come here when they first get their diagnosis, I am ast...

Hello and Happy New Year everyone. I am trying to arrange a blood draw for Daisy's SID B12 and Folate test .. I seem to remember SID/?? but can't relocate the reference and want to know exactly what to ask for. What was on the other side of that slash / Some of you may recall I was unable to have th...

yes, this site is amazing and EVERYONE I HAVE MET IS WONDERFUL
I have been telling people about it.

Is there a reason not to use straight human grade slippery elm powder?
My holistic vet suggested sprinkling a little on her food before the diagnosis for epi.

Hello Jean, nice to meet you. i am so glad this site is used internationally. Sorry about your down time, it's no fun. I hope you are feeling better now and getting around at home. I'll assume you have a partner or a trusted care taker for your beloved Kara. I am a single senior and have scenarios r...

I took a look at the Sport Dog line of kibble. they do seem to make a good product. I probably don't have to explain how much everyone's info, advice and encouragement means to me. I know you all have been where Daisy and I are right now. I'm going to drink some elderberry and nettle tea with fire c...

Her not craving 7 meals is encouraging for a start. And she does not look quite so bony. I have been pretty sick past few days and...

BTW : I just rechecked the Carna4 fiber content in all 3 varieties which is at 4% - exactly like the Canidae products Is Canidae considered a prescription kibble? Are there others? Would one of you more experienced doggie parents please take a look at what Carna4 has ... this link lists all 3 formu...

Hello Madelon Wow .. that is going to be hard to find a clean low fiber kibble. What I like about the Carna4 products is they do not use synthetic ingredients/chemicals which I think is extremely important. I am open to exploring any suggestions. I am convinced I should hold off on he other suppleme...

Hi .. I have heard mixed opinions about Canidae. Seems regular vets think it's ok but my holistic does not care for it. Daisy has been on Carna4 for some time before her diagnosis and weight loss. I since switched her to the fish recipe which my holistic vet says is more easily digestible. This is t...
