Hi, I am a new member and eager to begin sorting out our almost 8-year old miniature poodle's recurring GI issues, including mild pancreatitis, and many food sensitivities. For a long time she was stable on Honest Kitchen Preference with added fresh ground turkey breast (cooked) and a small amount of brown rice, but then seemed to become sensitive to the vegetables or something else in the Preference. She reacted to a new box with several episodes of vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite. She also had a staph infection on her abdomen after that and was treated with an antibiotic. Since about June, she has been on a vet nutritionist prescribed diet of ground turkey breast and rice with some added Balance IT supplement, but clearly this isn't the answer either because she has been ill again in last several weeks. She is very sweet, smart and sensitive, can be anxious in certain situations and seems to feel the loss of her loved ones very acutely so needs extra attention if there is a change in the household. Am glad to have joined this site to learn everything I can and especially to get fresh food diet advice -- how to find the right balance for her. She is recovering from the latest episode now and I've begun reading the diet threads and resources, but not sure where to start adding to her diet without setting off a new round of GI issues. Also interested in whether there are specific supplements to support her GI system and reduce inflammation. And whether there are homeopathics that might be indicated. All advice welcome.
Thanks,
Maggie
