Anon,
I do not to anything for my dogs without researching (quite intensively) then discussing with their vet to help make the final decisions. A good example is when my dog Indiana, who has since passed, was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. I researched alternative therapies that could be administered in conjunction with his oral chemo treatments, discussed them with the vet and the oncologist, and we decided on a few to try. I got a wonderful extra four months with my boy. He was happy, and loving life for just a little longer, until he told us it was time.
I donât think it is a good idea to stop focusing on the food since it is what my vet suggested we do to see if it helps Magnusâ episodes. It is the whole reason for my post. Yes, we donât really know what is going on, and I will likely have to take him for an esophagoscopy…but if there is a chance his episodes could be alleviated by switching him to a lower protein, low fat diet, I am sure going to try.
