Thank you Sugarcatmom and Frenchy.
When Buddy started with all his allergy problems, I did consider the raw diet or home made diets and opted for the best store bought instead. It may sound a little crazy but in light of my age and my husband's as well as personal circumstances (e.g. having to go back to Montreal for an extended period of time for funeral etc), or if anything happened to either one of us (be it temporarily or permanent) that someone could easily care for our babies without too much imposition.
Back then, I did find a great recipes for treats which was homemade (salmon, oats, eggs) and they just loved it and were hovering around the stove all the time they were cooking. It happened at a time where Buddy was getting multiple interdigital cysts and ear infections and it was then recommended that I stick strictly to hypoallergenic foods.
I will try and get those KetoDiastix today. Dr. Lee pointed me to a link where it explains which one to use.
Right now, we are both like >the hell with the allergies and last night our little monkeys got some low fat cheddar cheese bits (which they love). This morning after their walk, daddy is making breakfast (french toasts) and the kids will be getting scambled eggs (more protein
).
Frenchy, I will keep that recipe. The challenge will be to find the canned pumpkin puree. I guess the only place to find that would be a Health Store? For that, I'm going to have to take a drive to the >big city> (2 hour return trip). Ah the joys of living in the country which can sometimes present a challenge in finding fresh or different produce.
The vet called end of day yesterday and gave me some of the results and told me that he would definitely get the results of Fructosamine by Friday. Now I need to read about Fructosamine. I also asked him if I could chat with another client who has a diabetic dog so that she/he could let me know where in this neck of the wood I could get some items etc.etc etc
Have a great day everyone and again thank you so very much for the support, suggestions etc.
