Hi everyone,
Does anyone know about Dr. Pitcairn? I've been reading his book, can't recall the exact title but it's about natural health care for dogs and cats. Since Schweppie has CRF, I was reading the section on kidney disease. In it, there is a recipe that contains ground chicken or turkey, some safflower oil, enriched white rice and some vitamins (taurine, vitamin A, C etc.) I asked one of the vets at hte clinic where I work and she said it was okay and that I should first do a kidney profile first, then another one after 6 weeks. She also suggested eggs which I agree with since they don't have a lot of phosphorus but good quality protein.
I'd like your opinion on this...he's eating Medi-cal Mature since he refuses to eat any of the kidney diets now but I'd like to get him off this food. I just figure, natural would be a lot better...
Thanks in advance for your help!
