Reading y...We are soo sorry to hear about Destiny! Reading your blog brought tears down my cheeks! I suspect the vet may have provided you with a special food that is designed for dogs with Kidney disease, (it is low protein and contains a lot of the nutrients needed so the kidneys don't have to work so hard.) Years ago I had a young cat that had kidney failure and had to give this special diet (actually I had to really get it soft and give it with a syringe as my kitty wouldn't eat it at first. It really helped) I don't want to give ou false hopes because I don't know if it will help Destiny but I thought I would mention it just in case. No matter what, I am sure you will make whatever decisions you have to and I am so sorry as I know how difficult a time like this is. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!!<BR/><BR/>Here is a site that contains some information you may want to check out if you haven't already...<BR/><BR/>http://www.best-dog-food-guide.com/kidney-disease-dog-food.html<BR/><BR/>"Kidney prescription dog food diet both extend and improve the quality of life in dogs with renal disease" <BR/><BR/>"A healthy dog has no problems with protein in dog food; in fact proteins are essential nutrients. But for a dog with kidney disease, protein can function as mere poison (though his body still needs amino acids for building and replacing tissue cells).<BR/>Kidney disease dog food therefore should have a lower protein percentage but the protein in the dog food should be of high bio-availability."<BR/><BR/>"Because dogs with canine kidney disease don’t feel like eating and because a low protein diet is not very tasty (proteins and fats are what make the food palatable to dogs) it can be hard to get your sick dog to eat. Dog food manufacturers have to pay attention to this fact when creating recipes for kidney patients. Also the food needs to be very concentrated nutrition-wise, in order for a dog with a low appetite to eat enough to support his energy and nutrient requirements."<BR/><BR/>"Every regular dog treat can disturb the protein levels. You may give this to do your dog (with renal failure) a favor but it actually makes him sicker." <BR/><BR/>Our hearts go out to you!!<BR/><BR/>-Schmoopy, Sassy, Mia & Kate<BR/><BR/>http://katies-schmoopy.blogspot.comSchmoopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108899204909962702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981112375920613998.post-12889706825676105062009-01-13T21:39:00.000-08:002009-01-13T21:39:00.000-08:00I'm pwaying that you and Destiny don't have to go ...I'm pwaying that you and Destiny don't have to go thwough all this pain..I know that the love you have fow each othew will always be thewe<BR/>Mommi knows how you feel and is cwying<BR/>smoochie kisses<BR/>ASTAAstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441676450108596063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981112375920613998.post-43129785294315645602009-01-13T20:52:00.000-08:002009-01-13T20:52:00.000-08:00I get to know about Destiny through Addie's blog. ...I get to know about Destiny through Addie's blog.
