Thanks be to God, Buddy finally appears to be showing signs of improvement re: his most recent health setback. That faint sliver of light off in the distance might be starting to look more like light at the end of the tunnel, instead of yet another oncoming freight train in a long series of freight trains.
And as an extra blessing, what started out as another new challenge to overcome has suddenly turned into a golden opportunity. Buddy is now eating pate style food. Woo hoo!
That's a huge step for us, because he appears to have developed an allergy to chicken, and he can't have fish based flavors because of his history of urinary tract problems. Unfortunately, most shredded textures are chicken or fish based, so we were in a bit of a pickle.
However, much to our surprise and delight, Buddy has enthusiastically embraced the Koha limited ingredient options that we've tried thus far (kangaroo, duck, and guineafowl), and is tolerating them quite well. So we'd like to strike while the proverbial iron is still hot, and offer him some other options while he's still willing to try new things.
I'm going to Petsmart this morning to pick up some cans of Instinct's limited ingredient flavors. Is there anything else you could recommend that's low carb, and isn't chicken or fish based? For what it's worth, we're also willing to consider commercially prepared raw food or other wet food options if Buddy is agreeable.
