re: Dog diagnosed with kidney disease - diet help

My 9 1/2 year old lab was diagnosed with kidney disease three or four years ago, and has had the lesions you’re describing. I thought diagnosis was a death sentence, but a couple medications have his kidney values well within a normal range. The lesions (I though they were ringworm too) took a couple weeks of very poewerful antibiotics, but they went away. They’ve also come back, and gone away again. My vet at All Pets Hospital in BR, diagnosed him as having a thyroid problem as the root cause of many of his issues. The vet originally said he was going to need special food forever, but I’ve never done that. He eats rotisserie chicken, vegetables, Fresh Pet, and Chopped Beneful wet dog food. The new food probably sucks for your dog, feed the poor thing. My guy takes a pill or two, but he’s had a very normal life.
