Re: Bella (Chihuahua) diagnosed today
Hi and welcome to you and Bella,
It would help us a great deal if you would get with her vet and get copies of the test results. NOT the invoice telling what they charged you but the actual results. Also find out which medication Bella is taking. That will be crucial for us to know in order to help you.
As for diet, there is NO one right diet for a cush pup. The main thing to watch is the fat content. Our babies are prone to pancreatitis so keeping the fats low is important. Other than that anything that works well for your dog is the right diet for your dog. Each dog is a unique biological entity so what is right for one dog may make another sick. If what Bella is eating now is working I would not change it at all especially right now. One of the side effects of an overdose with both meds is digestive upsets - which can also occur when the diet changes. So we DO NOT want to do anything right now that could confuse the picture. It is best to let her keep eating as she has been unless the fat content is high.
I look forward to those test results and learning the medication Bella has been prescribed.l
Hugs,
Leslie
