During the last 12 months, we feed him purely K/D (can) twice a day, my dog usually finish all of them.
We started from daily IV, then every other day, then 2 times a week, then once a week.
He behave just like a normal dog, beside he wee wee a lot and randomly around the house.
now questions:
- he eat dirt constantly since 2-3 months ago, he even ate the tiny plastic toy which he never did before. Is he feel hungry or lack of certain vitamins?
- his poo poo was always moist and sticky since he was on K/D, and more like diarrhea in last 2 weeks, is it a by-product of K/D? should we consider to feed him other food?
- Does IV really help him in this stage? I really want to avoid needle him
