Cynthia Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Most current research supports the need for even higher protein in geriatric dogs even with kidney disease. There are a lot of studies on this, and I'm linking a page from Dog Aware which has dozens of articles summarized and links to the referenced articles and research. I hope this helps. Your girl is just beautiful, and I know how hard this can be, but you can make her remaining time comfortable and happy. http://www.dogaware.com/kidney.html#protein Edited September 5, 2007 by Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgreys Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 So very sorry to hear your news. It's so heartbreaking to lose our precious puppers to cancer, especially OSA. Don't worry too much about the food. Give her whatever makes her happy and is reasonably nourishing. Take lots of pictures, and cherish every moment. Praying for much more quality time with your baby girl.

Guest argolola Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I am in tears as I read about your precious girl and see her picture. She is absolutely beautiful. If it's any comfort to you, please know that she is happy, because she has your love...no matter what. As it has been said before, greys only know the here and now, and that is with you. Gypsy is on my prayer list. God bless you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
