Do you feed your dog a diet with various protein sources? What about treats? I did and to some extent still do. Why some extent? Well, my recent experience has had me re-thinking this.
Java was recently diagnosed with protein losing enteropathy (PLE) stemming from lymphangiectasia. PLE is the inability to absorb protein. Her treatment included finding a novel protein which is a protein source that she has never had before. Well, at the age of 13 coupled with all the training, she has had a lot of protein sources over the years. This got me to thinking about isolating a protein source now for my little Twizzler just in case. This might be something you consider as well.
After many trips to various specialists, Java is on her path to wellness, her weight has stabilized and she's back to her normal self.
