Information Overload!

Well, first of all - Logan began to do a real turn around since I last posted, thank god! The few rounds of fluids at the vet and the antibiotics helped him so much. Now, he's an eating machine!! It's mainly the Mirtazapine and Prednisone he's on. He still won't touch canned dog food, but has been scarfing down dry dog kibble. I just don't want him to get too used to it because it's really hard on his bad tooth and the roof of his mouth due to the surgery.

So, I purchased a few books over the weekend to begin researching holistic treatments for Logan on my own. My head is spinning!! I'm learning so much, though. All of the info also applies to humans if you really think about it, so it sort of makes me take a second (third, forth and fifth) look at the way I've been eating for so long too....ugh. So, I'm first trying to nail down Logan's meals and how we want to proceed with his diet before we look into herbs and supplements any further. I have another appointment with the specialist/nutritionist tomorrow to talk about everything. I have tons of notes and questions so I'm sure she'll just love me! I'm just extremely overwhelmed by all of the information I'm taking in!

Bottom line, Logan should be eating a low protein, high fiber diet! Will let you know what I find out tomorrow!
