My last one had seizures. The only thing she got was Purina little bites and a little bit of boiled chicken with each feeding. I took her off any shot but the rabies shot. I kept chemicals (like the exterminator uses) away from her. The last few years I had her she had no seizures.

I cook chicken.. beef.. rice.. and veggies suck as green beans and sweet potatoes or pumpkin. ( no spices or salt !) a touch of sugar because he drops blood sugar to quickly and I use cinnamon occasionally to reduce inflammation when his arthritis is flared up) I make different combos every week. ( yes he’s spoiled but it has kept him off of Apoquel!!)
