Re: Who took their dog to a specialist? Advice?
It's amazing that Jesse kept her sight for so long, wow! That seems to be pretty rare from what the vets say.
I'm also very surprised that my vet didn't tell me much about the diet either. It didn't seem like he knew much about that aspect of it, he just knows to prescribe a certain brand. I was asking him about the ratio of protein/fat/carbs etc. he couldn't give me any clear answers. Nor did the specialist go into detail about it either, which is really odd considering I came to the apt for diabetes, sigh.. So I'm really surprised to read on here that diabetic dogs apparently need carbs and sugars in their diet. I wouldn't say that Daisy had any spikes or crashes on the high protein diet though. Maybe we'll try to go back to the taste of the wild for a bit and see how she does on it, or just get the prescription diet from the vet. Which brand seems to be the favorite among the group here?
