Capi, small kidney and no appetite till Cheerios
Well, update on Cappi. Small kidney. Ultrasound, xrays, vet visits and
recommendation diet to no-protein foods. For some time she seemed interested in eating these foods. We posted after she would not eat much, showed signs of poor digestion (shaking, vomiting) and then loss of weight to 16.5 lbs from above 18. She is a cocker spaniel and never been above 20 lbs. due to kidney size. 3.5 years old. Responses, thank you, recommended spicing food up, avoiding fish and other steps. But, when she lost even more weight we were ready to give her any food just to avoid starvation. Enter Cheerios. Today she eats Cheerios, both regular and Honey Nut. Cappi is weighing more, bones not sticking out as much. Her tummy looks bloated though. Cheerio have no protin. Bettter than our other dog foods and cat foods around the house. What could we do? Hoping we have avoided starvation and made a step toward a real help for our friend. J & Z |
