    Heā€™s really picky so right now heā€™s eating 1.5 cans of tuna in water and bilked chicken in ID chicken stew or low-fat royal canine canned good. sweet potato for snacks, fruit. Thinking of switching him to a protein heā€™s never had but Iā€™m awaiting our appointment with UC DAVIS nutrition to switch his food. I did buy GNC superfood complex and dandelion root as recommended on this thread. I will try it Saturday when it arrives. Before he got sick heā€™d eat a lot of vegetables and lean ground turkey with brown rice cooked in. Coconut oil. Heā€™d have an occasional egg and oatmeal in the morning.

    Hi, I have a 5 year old french bulldog dying of PLE. I have taken him to many specialist and they tell me his prognosis isnt too good. He was on prednisone and chorambucil (chemo) and his protein levels kept dropping. We since stopped the chlorambucil and switched to cyclosporine and still he is not improving. He is started to be affected neurologically by the steroids (hallucinating and losing motor coordination). I have tapered down the prednisone to 2.5mg BID and he is still on cyclosporine but I’m hesitant to continue because I want his remaining time with me to be good and not full of side effects. Tonight I bought dandeliion root, CLA, and GNC superfood recommended by ChristiG on this thread. Ive also reached out to Rick Scheyer for help at http://www.doglivershunt.com. I am trying everything I possibly can. I really need help. His cholesterol is low (79), Total protein 3.8 (albumin 2.3, globulin 1.5), wbc 27,500 with sediment in the urine so suspect a UTI. Still trying to touch base with vet since its a holiday on what to do. Considering Gastrocom (sodium chromoglycolate) or olsalazine. I’ve only researched this and awaiting vet feedback. We see a holistic vet where he gets ozone, accupuncture, and chinese herbs. He also started a fecal transplant with animal biome. We need help! Please anyone advise. I am so scared to lose my baby. Located in bay area, willing to travel for assistance.
