Please check with a holistic vet if that fits into your belief system and feed the absolute best diet you can. It does not have to be the most expensive, but one full of vitamins (C especially--grind up veggies and mix with the food). Avoid grains. Stick with this group. People don't always agree and belief systems vary but the information and support is great and will help you find your way. On Nov 15, 2008, at 8:17 AM, Pat Kachur wrote:
