Posted by breezexlt on September 23, 2002 at 10:22:49:

My dog was recently diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I have been trying a combination of drugs and herbs and he seems to be getting worse. We have moved him up to a new class of drugs and steroids (just this past weekend). He currently is getting IVD whitefish and potato. The vet suggested cooking for him given that he won't really eat anything.

Are there any resources on the web I can use to follow some guidelines for cooking? She said I would have to add some vitamins but how do I know how much he needs?

He is only 4 and going downhill quickly. Unfortunately, he gets into a viscious cycle where he doesn't want to eat because his stomach bothers him and then he can't eat because he feels bad.
Thanks
