To K9KidneyDiet:
Her Excellency Alexandria the Malamute just had her regular check-up. The vet was pleased, said she seemed healthy and that her blood values were pretty good, considering. I am HORRIFIED! I thought she would be getting better, not worse, with all we are doing differently now. And her awful blood values do not seem to reflect how well she seems. Allie is prancing around like a puppy, performing on drill team and eating everything in sight. She gets the homecooked chicken/veg/rice diet with some egg white, is on daily 250 ml saline. Supps: omega 3, CoQ10, B-12, B-50, MSM, parsley herb mix, calcium carbonate, digestive enzymes with probiotics. Since her electrolytes are okay, the vet says we can go to LRS if there is any reason to.
Here are Allie's current values compared with August after 6 wks abx and 2 weekend iv treatments. Is it time for another? Please let me know what I should be doing differently. Or, I guess I have to ask, am I kidding myself? At what point do we slip into denial?
As always, thank you all so much!
C, with Allie the love of my life
