I really appreciate you!!!!
I love the way her dogs sit there as though they're listening to her presentation.
I have a 12 year old long hair chihuahua that I've had since 8 weeks old. She has been the best most loving dog ever and my closest friend. 4 years ago they said a cough was due to CHF and put her on lasix and enalpril. In the last 6 months or so she had occasional upset stomach. I asked the vet and they said irritable bowel. In the last 3 weeks she suddenly lost alot of weight and her but muscles and in her back are gone. She wouldn't eat anything but table food. She developed diarrhea with bloody mucous. Took 5 days to get her into see the vet. Wed, the vet said her labs showed kidney failure, and he thought she also had pancreatitis. He only offered two options, put her to sleep that day or admit for 3000.00 hospital stay and treatment. She had no fever. My husband and I took her home to basically we thought die but we stopped her meds lasix and since then she has gotten better every day. No accidents, no diarrhea, no blood, and she is eating like she can't get enough of food. I have changed to KD diet trying to learn best how to make her food. The Hill KD diet can we got she will eat over white rice but I have made her food in the past and learning what not to put in it and what are good foods to include. We are taking her to another vet Monday morning for a second opinion. She is really bad anemic and I think that is the hurdle to get across right now. I have ordered iron supplements for her. She will be 13 in 2 months. She never stopped wagging her tail and I can't believe they offered to put her to sleep.. I'm convinced the lasix and the enapril caused kidney failure in her.
Wow..thank you for sharing..how is your friend today?
she is doing well. I say well but she still has CHF and in the past 6 months started getting more dementia but most days not bad at all. I love her so much. She just turned 14.@@Panicdamit
Give her dried liver treats to build up her red blood cells
Mine passed from kidney failure. She got parvo from the weakened immunity, and after that, she couldn't even stand. Her blood got infected.. went to her brain..started twitching. I had no choice but to euthanize. Enjoy every last day with your dog. You never know the last time you'll see him/her.
@@Tailionis I'm so sorry for your loss. Our most beloved friends rely on us to do what's right and it sounds like you did. May you feel peace.
I've never in my life had a vet take the blood pressure of any of my pets. I'll have to make a habit of asking!
LP, They charge to take the BP.Cost me $65. for my Yorkie.
I just spoke to my vet and they don't even take BP, they only take it in surgery which is ridiculous.
After my 4th visit to check my jack russel bleeding in his urine, and the last alternative is to check for cancer, the vet decided to check his blood pressure and found out that was a little elevated. Crossing my fingers for the cause is the heart medication and not the cancer. But I can't believe took so long to be checked his blood pressure
I always learn so much whenever I watch one of these little morning coffee get together fireside chat type of things. Thank you before being so giving of your knowledge. I appreciate you.
Dr. Judy thank you so much; you good-hearted Drs do so much by sharing you knowledge - we still gotta physically go to a professional on our end but having this info in our "toolbox" gives us pet parents so much calm to deal with anything we have to. I definitely wish you personally could treat my fur babies. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do.
Thank you Dr!
So helpful
Thank you for making this video. God immensely bless you.
Thank you for the valuable. Info
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank You Soooo Very Much for all the wonderful information!!!
I was reading it's important to do low phosphorous which is high in spinach, egg yolk and organ meat.
great video thank you very much
Thank you so much 😇
Thank you. Our vet started our dog on Azydol when my dogs kidney levels were off and it has made a big difference. His pancreas is/was slightly enlarged, but after an U/S seems to be within a normal range. Unfortunately he also has seizures. I've been making his food for awhile now but your info on things to add is really helpful. He's not much interested in dry kibble, which had me worried, but I see now that it's not necessary.
Thank you for uploading this!!! Perfect timing as we've got kidney issues 🙌💚
Hows the diet?
I’ve just been to my vet (U.K.) and she’s said change my 15 year old springer spaniel’s diet from a raw diet of mostly green tripe to dry low protein kibble. His symptoms are drinking a lot and peeing a lot but otherwise healthy. I don’t want to feed him kibble, I’m glad I found your channel
The tripe is great. The dry food is not a good choice. A low protein canned food could be substituted.
We need someone to talk about these diseases(kidneys teeth issues tumors and etc.. )pluse senior cats, 17 to 20 , all the drs said thats normal because the ct is so old, and I really hate that no specific diagnosis.
Wow this is an eye opener! God bless you…my chihuahua is the pickiest eater EVER…this dog will turn his nose up to steak and bacon for goodness sakes tho he’ll eat broccoli…he had bladder stones a couple years ago and I’ve been trying to home cook tho he’s so flippin picky it’s been really tough…I’ve been chasing him around with urine strips the last couple mornings and the first thing I noticed was protein in the urine and high specific gravity…this is troubling to me obvs…this is really making me think big time…hes just gunna have to eat what’s good for him of starve. That’s it. And yes after bladder stone surgery the vet recommended kibble after wards. MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL.thank you so much for what you do!!!
I’m back lol I’m still on my mission and I’ve found out that cystine stone are common in chihuahuas ….I’ve since added alpha Lipoic acid and potassium citrate to his diet as well as apple cider vinegar and baking Soda…wondering if you have a video specifically for cysteine stones???
Thankyou so much for all this information. My kidney dog is one of those fussy ones that is very hard to feed. Getting the crock pot out now. Much love from Australia🤗❤️
How's your dog?
Dr Morgan..thanks so much for making this video. I would like to know if Dr Harvey’s Canine Heath is good for dog with kidney disease. This is heavy in oatmeal so it’s still considered low phosphorous? Thanks.
Thank you for being so generous with such valuable information. i took notes and wll evaluate what will benefit my three terriers, i had to laugh when you said ginger cookies...a staple in our household.
What are ginger cookies?
thank you , you are a Angel
can you do one on Liver disease /elevated enzymes ....it seems to be so common
what is going on
Yes one on liver issues would be very informative. I got à scottie and she is 11/2 she has had à higher level nearly from thé start. Woundering what I can do naturally Wither freash raw food or perhaps freash cooked might be better. I would like to be ontop of this potential problem. Any suggestions or does ying and yang recipies that are in your book might help
Thank you for sharing your information. My dog has kidney failure. Your information will go a long way to help me give him the best quality of life. Looking for pet acupuncture . Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr Morgan both my girls have high levels of creatinine They are both on a carnivore diet my vet said they need to be low protein
Hi Judy, Thank you for your valuable time and energy putting this video together. I have an 8 pound shih tzu maltese mix and he is currently on the Dr. Harvey's kidney diet, where you mix water in and add protein. I was wondering when it comes to the binders you were talking about, I know you spoke of Rx Vitamins (Phos-Bind), would you recommend or have you heard of Azodyl or Epakitin?
Any of those are fine.
How is this food? I was making food following justfoodfordogs. Doctor just told me he’s now 75percent compromised so I will need to switch him to the “renal prescription” one. It’s just way too expensive. He also stopped eating his food. I had to had a scoop of baby food.
@@kf1683 Most dogs won't eat commercial renal food. My dog was able to tolerate justfood4dogs, but she only eats 2-3 weeks and no longer want it. So I have to do home cooking every day every meal, she's eating well; I give her good quality protein, such as grass-fed ground beef/bison/lamb/salmon/cod... just have to rotate protein. She's not losing weight anymore.
Thank you for this video. I find conflicting info online about what foods to use to cook for my dogs with CKD. Big question of mine is, can I give them sweet potatoes with rice with low sodium chicken broth?
Great info. Thank you so much. I have a Holistic vet and am working with her on my Toy Xolo currently who will be 2 in Jan. We don't know what's causing her burping (indigestion?). The xrays ultrasound looked good except US showed possible CKD. That's odd to me since she isn't even 2 yet. But labs were normal. So, again a bit odd. I'm doing low fat diet as recommended for now and adding tripe tomorrow plus raw egg yolk. Some soft boiled egg is good because certain nutrients are more bioavailable if cooked lightly. Using digestive enzymes and getting probiotics soon, trying to decide which ones.
Acid reflux can be caused by food intolerance (an ingredient not agreeing with her), food stagnation, Stomach heat, or Liver Qi stagnation. I generally use herbs to help solve the issue. I like Bao He Wan for food stagnation and Jade Lady for Stomach Heat. I use herbs or food to move Liver Qi stagnation. Hopefully, your holistic veterinarian will be able to determine which is the issue.
@@judymorgan4241 Thank you soo much. I will mention these to her to continue to work on this and hopefully eliminate it. These definitely sound like great options.
I would suggest adding links. I think you can make money that way and also helps people get the things you suggest. Thanks so much for this. Just found out my boy has this problem. Great information. Your a Saint for putting your valuable time into this
Agree 100%. The amino acid Dr. Morgan mentioned towards the end of the video is something I would very much like to have for my 2-year old cat who was just diagnosed to have early stage of kidney disease.

What about dry kibble soaked with fat free bone broth? Thank you so much for your video, so detailed!
Not recommended.
Stay away from that crap
My dog does get serinia too but I’m trying to when him. When he starts coughing a lot I give seminiamo for a few days. He’s on rebound too. And adival kidney powder and tablet to help stimulate his apitite
Dr Judy, what vitamins can I add to home made dog food for my CKD Dachshund? Thank you for all your great advice.

I lost my boy Flash over 2 years ago and his sister,Tink , was just dx with kidney disease. Not sure of the stage but she is showing signs. She’s 17 and still active but drinks a lot, very thin and extremely picky with food. She’ll only eat canned tuna mixed with mayo and miracle whip. She loves the tuna juice and it’s a fluid. We’re trying the Science Diet but no way! She only likes dry foods and the tuna with some treats. Oh and she does vomit a couple times a week. My heart is aching and just want her to be happy and around for a few more years but we will see. Thanks doc very helpful
I think the salt is a big no no with kidney disease. Tuna has some salt right? My boy loves it too but I can’t give it to him so I cook salmon for him
Please. How can I get a hold of you for a consultation
Wow..So glad I found this..My little dog has been having issues for 6 weeks after coming home from her dental cleaning. Maybe a coincidence, but her stomach Gurgling and growls so loud for a hour or so then she throws up Oris nausea..this was happening every 5 days,now its every three or everywhere day....I've had her on eggs, chicken/turkey diet with white rice, carrots, sweets potatoes. Its been6 weeks and she has lost weight and so worried about her. Where can I buy the green trip?
There are a lot of online raw places: Miami Raw, OC Raw, Hare-Today, Texas Tripe
I have tons of pickled beets here but I’ll need to get some plain canned beets for my little dog. She LOVES broccoli but even in extremely small servings it seems to cause her severe stomach upset. Unfortunately, my baby is diabetic too so I’m not sure if oatmeal is an option or not. I’ve given her very small amounts of sweet potato and she likes it and thankfully she LOVES pumpkin. I’m wondering if green beans would be an option. Also can she have ginger and if so how much and how often? We’re going to start feeding her eggs again and hope that will satisfy her. She’s eaten them in the past. Thank you for the tips.
All of that is fine.
@dr Judy Morgan….CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON CYSTEINE STONES…I know it accounts for less the one percent of all stones and that why no one talks about them ugh. …so much contradicting info out there too I’d really love to here your suggestions etc.
I have overweight lab and need to know where to get green tripe n how much to feed him as a 125 lb sog
Thank you I have a 19 year old min pin that we will take this advice and determine a new dietary plan.
Within 2 days of switching to wet/moisture food, he started drinking his normal amount of water and his pee breaks have adjusted accordingly. He's been happier lately. Thanks!
My boy is 19 too
@@Angelfamshows your dog?
Dr Judy I have a 14 year old cocker spaniel. He doesn’t have any elevations in his kidney values like CREA, Phos, BUN but his SDMA was elevated. He also has calcium oxilate bladder stones. He’s been on the K/D diet but I’m not seeing any change or improvement in his weight. My question is, is it possible to cook him a home diet considering his history of bladder stones? Thank you so much for this video, it is very informative!
Yes, you can make homemade diets. You need to avoid foods that are high or moderately high in oxalates. There is a list in my Yin & Yang Nutrition for Dogs book, along with recipes. You can also find lists of amount of oxalate in foods online. There is no need to use K/D with restricted protein until late in kidney disease. Restricting protein too early can actually cause more harm. The excess weight comes from eating a diet high in carbohydrates.
My chihuahua is 13 years old and weights 2.42 punds, should I ad the entire content of the AminAvast?
Baked butternut squash is ok?
I have a goldendoodle with one heart and doctor said she will leave only two months or 1one month.
Is it ok to feed a CKD stage 2 a whole egg w yolk? Also is organ chicken parts ok?
Dr Judy- My dog is 13 years old and has been diagonized with Renal 2 and Pancreatic disease-- Besides Dry Kibble and Renal wet food is there anything else we can give him
Dry kibble can be soaked in warm water to increase moisture content?
I use the dry kibble kidney food, but I soak it for 30 minutes in hot water before serving so it's nice and mushy. You're right, though, he has symptoms if I just let him eat it dry.
It is impossible to rehydrate it to the moisture content it would have as a whole meat diet. But if you are going to feed dry then I would soak it in the largest volume of moisture your dog will tolerate.
He takes kidney meds too,medication to stimulate his apitite and meds for his acid reflex
My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis and kidney failure 4 weeks ago. Can I give her green tripe or would that be bad for the pancreatitis?
My 6 years old west highland terrier with Leptospirosis ended up having an acute kidney injuries and liver injuries will she survive or this will be a Chronic disease? Thank you.
What about dehydrated meat?
If dog has kidney failure due to uti and the vet gave antibiotics won't that make the kidneys work overtime, what should I be supplementing with him
How do you hive your dog tea? And is cerenia safe for dogs with CKD and elevated liver enzyme’s?
some will drink it. You can give in food, with a spoon, or a syringe. Cerenia is generally safe, but every dog is different.

Funny thing today is a Monday and cloudy and rainy.
Hello Judy, Thanks for this video! Our beloved Coco (a 13 year Shih Tzu)has been diagnosed with Kidney Failure and it has really been a struggle. She is currently at a point where she doesn't want to eat any dog food anymore. I believe that this problem occurred after our home was sprayed by Terminex (which we left home and stayed overnight at a hotel) but she hasn't been the same since that time period. She has lost a lot of weight and many times when we take her outside she walks around and circles. It's really devastating for the entire family. I would like to know what you would recommend as far as a meal plan (home cooked natural meals) that I can start preparing for her so that she can at least start gaining weight. She has finished all of the prescribed medication given by her Veterinarian and is only taking Azodyl
drjudymorgan.com/search?q=kidney
I hope she is ok....that is the main issue with kidney failure. They lose their appetite. I am a pet nanny and have a 16 yr old teacup poodle Chloe, and we are struggling with it. She enjoys rice baby cereal and turkey sweet potato baby food mixed together. Carbs are good. Try Entyce, an appetite stimulant. That also works well. ❤

Hello Judy, Greetings from India. Thankyou for your Valuable time and Information. My beloved Girl "Molly" ( Pomeranian ) 8 years old is diagnosed with CKD. She was eating fine and her diet mostly include ( Rice with Chicken + Chicken Broth) and have an old Habit of drinking limited to no water. So i give her chicken broth with food. She is doing fine but I noticed she has dropped her weight around 2-3 pound. On Investigating we foundout about her CKD.
Her Creat was at 3.4 ( ref 0.5 - 1.8) when first tested now She is at 3. And Bun at 128, Currently at 99 she is on IV fluids from few days.
Vet Said to completely cut her out of Protein intake. ( No chicken, Lambs etc)
I don't know what to Do. Need your Help and assistance plz.
Hi, how are you? May I ask how your dog is doing now?
Hi madam im from India tamilnadu can you guide me , my pet is 4years old now in kidney Decease,i font know how to safe my pet pls tell me the food its getting vomit
I have turned her dinner into soup so she has to drink more. I boil chicken bones to make bone broth and then add some chicken meat, salt and olive oil. I add ice cubes to cool it down. It gets her to drink a decent amount of fluid.
I have an overweight Chihuahua 10 years old she was diagnosed last September with bladder stone she was put on a prescription diet and the one stone that they can still see did not dissolve it’s too small to operate and apparently the veT thinks it’s Stuck to her bladder Because it’s been in the same spot for over six months ,, She recommend staying with the kibble prescription diet because even though it’s not dissolving the stones it’s not making anything worse I would rather have homemade food for my dog but after trying another vets recipe online her pH balance is usually eight and I know that’s too high I do have her on a cranberry supplement and since then She hasn’t had a UTI …. Can you recommend a diet for her? Or can you recommend a website with a really good qualified canine nutritionist that I can trust I have no problem paying for good advice I love my dog and I want the best for her
Diet depends on type of stones. The dog may not have a stone; what they are saying may just be calcification of the bladder wall from chronic irritation. A low pH can be achieved by feeding a low-carbohydrate, high-moisture diet. It can be home-made or gently cooked or raw.
I have to purée my dogs food and it’s all home made. I feed him using a syringe occasionally he will eat spoons of it rarely eats and food on his own. He’s going to be 11, 5 lb. Yorkie. Stage 3 kidney failure
How's your dog?
So what is the best to feed to dog? A raw? Or homecook food
High moisture diet. Protein content depends on stage of disease. Raw or gently cooked will vary depending on how well the dog is digesting food.
I need help desperately!! What do I feed my dog that develops strovite and calcium stones when hills prescription cd diet cans aren't available.... normal home made food is dangerous for her
You have to monitor urine pH. Struvite crystals are related to high pH and infection. Test for bacteria in the urine.
Thanks so much! My vet hasn't given me any hope, only to hope he lives another year. My puppy is one year old and he was born with smaller/thick kidneys i beleieve, and was diagnosed with kidney failure.
He's only had two episodes where he vomited and had diarrhea a moth and a half ago. Other than that hes been acting normal.
Is there a chance there are a list of foods i can purchase to make sure he is getting proper nutrition? Or point me in the right direction.
I really don’t want to lose him.
I would greatly appreciate it.
How's your dog?
@@user-kq2dg6td7h he didn't make it unfortunately. We lost him June of last year.
Can the meat that you put in the homemade food for dogs be raw or does it have to be cooked? And is there anything to help with the twitching that happens with my dog with kidney failure? She lays there and her whole body will twitch pretty bad. Her blood work was good the last time I got it checked as far as phosphorus .
It can be raw or gently cooked. Check electrolytes and BUN. If sodium, potassium, chloride, or BUN are off that can contribute to twitching and seizures.
@@judymorgan4241 Thank you so much for this! The vet I've been seeing never said anything about that to me ... all they said was well we can start a anti-seizure med...but I feel like there's more going on that's causing like the food. Etc. Thank you so much!
One other question...can exercise be bad for them? She's slowed down alot since being diagnosed but not sure if taking her for walks could cause tremors too. Or be harmful for her issues ..thanks!
Allow them to exercise as much as they want. You need to keep as much muscle as possible.
@@judymorgan4241 thank you soooo much! ❤️
My chihuahua eats chicken breast and he loves all his fruits and veggies (the ones ok for dogs)… I’ve had some people tell me this is unhealthy and to switch to kibble, and other people tell me it is fine. I don’t know who to believe.
Fresh whole food diet is always the better option.
Egg yokes are high in phosphorus. Egg whites are better
Not if you are trying to increase fat and fat-soluble vitamins in the diet. Egg whites are full of B vitamins and protein. You can't focus on one thing (phosphorous) and ignore the rest.

drjudymorgan.com/products/kidney-support-diet-for-dogs?_pos=1&_sid=6664ae831&_ss=r Also Darwin's makes a whole-food kidney diet.
If a dog's bun is over 80, shouldn't the protein be low? That means he is uremic. My lhasa maltese mix, has been on Royal Canin SO to reduce crystal which worked. He is 19. He is in stage 2, and only wants to eat protein.

What about Chicken
My pitbull who is 10 started to lie down after half an hour of walking 2 months ago. First I thought he had problems in his limbs . So the vet examined him and did not find anything wrong .Today she emailed me to tell me that the blood work showed a an elevated level in his kidneys . I never feed him kibbles. I cook for him turkey , chicken and salmon mixed with eggs ( shells included) and quinoa . I weigh every portion to make 720 grams balls for each day. The balls are frozen for 2 to 3 weeks . He eats half a ball in the morning and another half in the afternoon . I add a cup of brocoli or pumpkin . In between meals I give him cooked carrots ,berries or an apple. To make sure he is getting all the nutrients i give him multi vitamins , fish oil and probiotics . Sometimes he begs for food we eat . So maybe this is what damages kidneys I believe. I am extremely worried About his health . I will be devastated if something happens to my baby .
I don't think your diet is the cause of the problem. Have you had abdominal x-rays or chest x-rays? Many times there are problems that do not show up on labwork and I suspect there may be more going on here.
@@judymorgan4241 the vet will do an ultra sound and probaby a bile exam for his liver
Salmon has phosphorus which is not good in kidney problems
@@Oksana-ix6xq thank you Oksana . How much beef kidney can my dog eat each day?
What diet is good in a dog so that he cant have a problem in kidney in the long run
My dog died 2 years ago he was 17 always got raw food & bones . Never got vaccinated or wormed never had his teeth cleaned and still had all his white teeth when he passed
Good luck trying to get them to eat. Fighting that battle right now. You reach a point in which You have to force feed them via a syringe with liquid or pureed food which they hate. its very sad but it will eventually happen to every dog with kidney failure.
Sadly, yes, most of them will get to this point. Mine insists on being hand-fed but will eat that way. Just be careful with syringe feeding that the liquid goes across the tongue, not to the back of the throat where they might aspirate.
But raw food diet is expensive, what is alternative? Home cook?
Dr. Judy has many homemade recipes that would help with cost vs commercial
I'm open to this too. 16 yr old lab that won't eat the special prescribed canned food. He's all over us for other people fold though. Ha
@@desiree2654 hi, can you recommend any please ?
Dr JUDY has a book Yin and Yang with many homemade recipes. Also her recipe for puploaf with a video on UA-cam
should the veggies be raw or cooked?
Either, but they must be either cooked or ground to break down the plant cell walls.
@@judymorgan4241 thank you
I lost my baby to Kidney failure! He declined rapidly! He refused to eat!
my dog got ear infection about a week ago, been to vet and they gave me ear drops. a couple of days later my dog stopped eating but drank lots of water. My dog hasn't eaten for 4 days and ear infection wasn't getting better so back to the vet yesterday. They told me she is very dehydrated and best to put her on fluids for a few hours and get a blood sample. One hour later vet called me and said it isn't looking good ( my dog is a 8y old English foxhound) her blood is full of toxins and her kidneys had shut down. They suggested the best thing to do put her down !!??? I said NO WAY i will get a second opinion. They told me they can try and give her antibiotics and fluids for 48h , take another blood sample and see if things improve. I agreed. this morning the vet called me and said , thats she is doing much better and she even ate some chicken but want to keep her on fluids for another day. Yesterday they suggested putting her down and after a day of fluids she is doing better already !!! What are my future options ?? while i am typing this, Vet just called again. they want to keep her until Monday the least (more money i guess) and continue Fluids. Today is Monday, my dog is at the vet for the past 3 days on fluids. She is better and her blood phosperos reading are half but they want to keep her another 2-3 days on fluids. I refused and pick her up later.
How do you feed a diabetes mellitus dog with kidney failure?
Low carbohydrates (low starch) meals. Uncooked fats are a great source of calories. Protein restriction should only be instituted in advanced kidney disease.
My mom lived her entire life from a child with 1/2 a kidney.
Where can we find kidney to feed dogs
Hare-Today, Raw Feeding Miami, other online suppliers. Also try Asian markets or butchers or Amish markets.
@@judymorgan4241 thank you so much for taking the time to answer
I’m so confused after watching this video. My senior pup has pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease. She is losing weight rapidly even though she is eating her little heart out. Everything I read says no organ meats, only egg whites, oatmeal is high in phosphorus. I’ve been feeding her a cod, white rice, sweet potato, broccoli food recommended by the naturopath from Justfoodfordogs. I was also provided an alternate chicken liver diet. How are these ok when their phosphorus is high?
That is a very low-fat diet, so she is going to lose weight. You need to make up the calories somewhere, so more carbs are needed since you can't increase protein drastically and if there is a true pancreatitis, you can't add cooked fats. Raw fats are usually okay. Most of these dogs do not have true pancreatitis; they just have elevated amylase because that isn't being cleared by the kidneys. You cannot eliminate phosphorous from the diet. If the phosphorous is high the dog should be on phosphate binders.
@@judymorgan4241 thank you so much for the response!!!
My dog also suffering from chronic kidney disease.
I was upset that my vet told me to go on kibble. I was seeing two different western vets at same clinic. First they told me she did not have any kidny issues and then I was told she did and I was switching back and forth between kidney and non kidney food. Then because of all the confusion they offered a third blood test a few months later for free and I found out most of her values were normal except the SDM value and then the vet told me your dog has allerfies to proteins so eliminate proteins and go on Royal Canine Hydrolyzed protein Kibble. I have been so upset because I do not agree with Kibble at all plus she has not been a drinker and I have had to mostly give her water by mouth all the time so kibble is awful and so I would like to know what canned food can I buy and where that is lower protein and has no chicken. I know she does have a chicken allergy. When she was on Hills canned K/ D food after being on that a month or so she got an ear infection and that is why the vet thinks I need to stay off proteins. ZHe said it is not from the chicken fat in that food but there is caramel color and other bad stuff and sugar that could have caused the ear problems . I will not stay on this Royal Canine hydrolyzed protein. Its been a week and with her not drinking I have to give her more water myself by mouth and her bowel movements are much drier. What is the healthiest food I can order if she only has high SDM value of 14 so just before kidney disease and when she was on regular protein food it shot up by almost 9- 10 points. Is there a healthy lower protein, no chicken ( she has alletgies to chicken) and she is a little higher on potassium but not abnormal so she has only one value heading towards stage 1 the SDM value and I want to know the best wet food non chicken food not too high in proitein? Is a vegan diet good or something else? If I should cook the food should I try Hilary's diet or a canned food? I am not sure why they keep thinking she has allergies to beef as she only got itchy infected ears after eating hills and I dont like this dry royal canine hydrolzed protein kibble. Hoping u can help me. Thanks!
I would not feed anything made by those companies and this dog does NOT need a restricted protein/restricted phosphorus diet at this stage. I would recommend human-grade, home-prepared food that is a balanced diet. You would be much better off spending your money consulting with a veterinary nutritionist.
@@judymorgan4241 Thank-You for this excellent advice Dr. Judy! Where can I find one of these I live near Vancouver, BC Canada? Thank-You!!!
@@AP-ty1vl Most of them do things virtually. You might try Monica Segal.
@@judymorgan4241 Thank-You, does she help virtually?
@@AP-ty1vl yes
Let them eat whatever they want because there’s no cure for this illness …I was very diligent the first year , strict diet, sub q fluids administered only to watch my dog deteriorate….
You’re so right as with humans and that’s what a friend said. I just want to keep my girl with me as long as I can. 🫤
