Well, I just about had a breakdown last night after all of the books I've read and research I've done about what to do with Logan's diet and supplements! So confusing! It figures that after all of that, the specialist we saw today (for a 2nd time) didn't agree with much of anything that I've read. ugh. She's been doing this a long, long time - so I suppose we do trust her opinion. Anyway, we're planning to go with 1/2 holistic commercial kibble and/or canned food and 1/2 home cooked. We're still in the process of nailing down exactly what this will consist of. I think we're most likely going to go with Pinnacle Duck and Potato (as lamb-based Solid Gold hasn't agreed with Logan's stomach, and he refuses to eat anything seafood-based, and his brother can't have anything chicken-based) dry and/or canned and we're still discussing what we'll be giving him for home cooked items. So....we'll get him going on the kibble and canned for this week, then add in the rest next week!
The powdered supplement that he was refusing to take no matter what - is no longer necessary as it was focused on his GI issues after chemo, which he no longer has. The liquid, however - we still need to figure out a way to get him to take this. The vet suggested to mix it with some canned EVO 95% duck and see if that works! So - we'll see. We'll be adding in other supplements as soon as we get the diet in place. At least we're getting somewhere! I'm just so frustrated and bummed out about all of the hours of reading and research I did already :(
Logan's appetite is back, and then some!! I almost lost a hand....and a refrigerator (ok, not really) today! The vet gave us the ok to stop the Mirtazapine and lower the dose of Prednisone...yayyy!
I also took Logan for a little w.a.l.k (we have to spell it at our house or chaos ensues) - very slowly, and just a few house down the street, but he was happy as a clam!!
