Question
Thank you very much for your help on 6/29.  Chloe, as well as Guiness, have been on Natural Balance (Lamb and Duck formula) since then.  Honestly, I don't really see a difference in Chloe.  She's still extremely lethargic, drinks tons of water, and has been peeing in the house during the day.  She has to urinate alot.  She's not a very happy dog, sort of mopey, whereas Guiness is more energetic and fun.  Not sure where to go from here.

As mentioned before, we have had several tests taken on her urine, blood, feces, and have tried many different types of medicine, however, nothing seems to help.  She usually has crystals in her urine, so I'm going to get it tested again today to see if the food helped with that.  It seems to me that she has Diabetes, but they have tested for it and ruled that out.

Any suggestions?  I just want her to be happy and off of drugs.  Thanks so much!

Hi Jenny - did you try the NuVET Plus vitamin wafer for Chloe?
It is an immune system booster and gives many dogs NEW found puppy energy - I know that sounds odd but it works wonders on the body's systems... Give it a try:
Also, I like a full Grain free Program better than the natural balance food... SoJo, the green bag, has a nice grain free food that is great for dogs that have kidney stones and crystals...JUST use mostly white low fat and low protein meats in the sojo mix.
With SOJO you add your own lightly cooked meats:

SEE Here for SoJO link - free shipping

Remember - Grain free green bag only for  your gal........

Next, if you have not yet tried the NuVET Please do...!
No risk - 60 day money back guarantee and ALL safe and Natural..
Call 1-800-474-7044
Tell them you have a referral from Pet Nurse marie and use order code 81098 / Ask for the 60 count of NuVET Plus and use 1 per day -
If you go on autoship they will give you 15 % off...
Please call in for quick shipping / only sold by referrals.

Yes, her signs sound like diabetes but it could be just poor kidney function, too!

BEST of luck kids!!!
