I think she feeds Lady a combo of pasta, boiled chicken, and rx kibble.

Batmom Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 All I can suggest is the sort of things we've fed our kidney disease dogs -- lower protein, lower sodium sorts of things. Rice or pasta or low-additive cereals like shredded wheat and cheerios; cooked hamburger or chicken or eggs or lower sodium fish; a dusting of Parmesan cheese or squirt of honey or dollop of vanilla ice cream/yogurt ..... If she has lost a lot of weight you might have to start with what WILL she eat and work your way back to a version of that that is better for her. Most of my dogs have enjoyed and tolerated a small scoop of vanilla ice cream daily; a small serving of spaghettios (kinda high in sodium but I understand they're good! ) ; scrambled eggs; a little minced poached chicken liver with the cooking broth; canned green tripe (Tripett brand or Solid Gold Green Cow). Hope you can find something that works for her and helps her to feel well.

cello Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Lady has Protein Losing Enteropathy - not Neuropathy. That means that Lady is losing protein at a cellular level through her digestive track - not through her kidneys. I am not sure if the two diseases have similar treatments as far as diets go. Lady has to be ULTRA LOW FAT. I PM'd the original poster and filled her in on Lady's story. Wishing the best for the pup. Carol Ann. Quote Molly Weasley Carpenter-Caro - 6 Year Old Standard Poodle.
