My 11 year old yellow lab has been diagnosed with crushings disease three years ago after a long struggle with a local vet....persistence is a must when it comes to getting a proper diagnostic results. We have gone through all the necessary steps to come to the realization this is serious stuff. I have her on 1000 mgs of Lysodrin every three days now which started out at 500 mgs....we are on soloxine, (thyroid meds)and adensolyn (liver meds)......just this past June she developed diabetes of which requires two shots per day...along with that I am feeding her four times a day. I have given up on dog food all together and cook her meals. The day starts with oatmeal and three meals of Brown rice, carrots, green beans and turkey,chicken, venison, or elk.
My most recent dilemma is that her skin develops infections that i cannot seem to get cleared up....any ideas?
