LP and type of food after surgery question
Hello all!
I am so glad I came across this group. My cane corso, Lily, had the tie back surgery for laryngeal paralysis about a year and a half ago. The surgery went very well and she is doing great, thank goodness! My question for others with experience or knowledge of this procedure is does the dog have to eat canned food for the rest of her life? The specialist who performed the operation told me canned food, but other vets have said she can go back to dry food by now. In my other searches, I have also found both answers! Lily actually prefers dry food and she is only 5 now, so I worry about her teeth with canned food for many years to come. Plus, at 120 lbs, it costs a LOT to feed her canned food! Any input on your experiences would be very helpful. Thanks so much! Sloan |

Maybe you could feed your dog half canned food and half dry food. |
