Dr. Donna did allergy testing on me using Naet technique and found out I was allergic to:
1. chicken
2. beef
3. dairy
4. grains
5. non-essential amino acids
Dr. Donna gave me some Chinese medicine and marshmallow root to take every day. She also told mom to cook all my meals from scratch, and give me some supplements. So, for over a month, mom slaved away cooking up a bunch of turkey and a bunch of ground up veggies. Really. A lot since I'm an 80 lb dog! Then she found the Natural Pet Pantry, who would make all my food for her. She was thrilled. Then we switched over to Honest Kitchen Embark, which is dehydrated turkey and veggie yumminess. This was much easier for when we take the port-a-dog house out into the woods.
In May 2011, I had my first protein switch since February. We switched over to Honest Kitchen Zeal, dehydrated fish and veggie yumminess. That went really well. My poop didn't change at all. Not even during our 2 week camping trip to Montana! So, now that it's almost September, I get to switch proteins again. Dr. Donna recommended buffalo. Sounds good to me!!!! So mom has been mixing in Grandma Lucy's dehydrated Bison. It is also really good. The folks at the Natural Pet Pantry were not able to hunt down a buffalo, so I'm now eating G'ma Lucy's Bison and Pepperdogz Raw Buffalo. (a local company). Yum-mee! Mom is hoping to keep me on raw. I might even get to try duck or wabbit next!!!! Very cool!
The supplements I currently take are:
Quercetin (so I don't get huge welts from skeeter bites)
Great Life Enzyme Pro Plus (to keep my innards healthy)
Coconut Oil (to keep my fur shiny and beautiful)
Ground Raw Nuts Brazil, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds (for trace minerals and vitamins)
Chinese medicinal herbs (to cure my IBD)
Marshmallow Root (to keep my tummy happy)
Kale chips and parsley (doggie superfoods)
Ocean Kelp (for my teeth and assorted other stuffs)
This is the healthiest I've been my whole life!!
I know I sound like an infomercial, but, hey...all this stuff is working wonders....and no heavy duty medications AT ALL!!!! We can't say enough good things about Dr. Donna. She has definitely cured me of this IBD thing.
UPDATE as of 9/22/2011 - Remi continues to do very well and has no symptoms of IBD. He is eating raw foods and only gets the Chinese herbs when he switches proteins. He is happy, healthy, and FULL of energy!!!
UPDATE as of 2.18.2012 - It's been a year since Remi was diagnosed with IBD. He continues to eat raw foods and has not had to have the Chinese herbs or marshmallow root in quite some time. He has not had an episode of IBD since seeing Dr. Kelleher. He is so happy, healthy, and full of energy and love. He is currently eating raw turkey w/bone stew from the Natural Pet Pantry. He also gets some dehydrated Embark, from Honest kitchen, since it comes in handy when we are hiking or camping. Once a week he gets a raw turkey neck, raw turkey gizzards, and a raw buffalo bone (which lasts for almost a week) for dental health.
The supplements he currently takes are:
Super Quercetin (for my immune system)
Great Life Enzyme Pro Plus (to keep my innards healthy)
Coconut Oil (to keep my fur shiny and beautiful)
Ocean Kelp (for my teeth and assorted other stuffs)
Calamari Oil (for my fur and brain and....)
