Happy Happy 9th Birthday Bob! 3 years ago you were diagnosed with cystine stones, we thought we were going to loose you. After a grueling surgery to remove over 100 cystine stones from your bladder and a 2nd surgery 2 days later to fix the 1st surgery we were told there was no way to keep you from getting more stones.
So we were going to have to do more surgeries as you developed more stones. We did not accept that diagnosis, that became the beginning of long days on the computer searching for better ways to feed you, we believed it was through a better diet your health might be restore.
Fast forward 3 years later, it's your 9th birthday and you have never been healthier, we have removed all kibble and canned dog food from your diet. You are now a vegan eating all vegetables and tofu and one egg a day, no grains except small amounts of brown rice once in a while. Snacks include cantalope, bananas, apples, fresh string beans and vegan dog treats.
You run around our house like a pup! Your coat is shinny and glossy and your weight is perfect.
Your eyes are clear and you are so happy, no more stones!!
For anyone out there with a sick dog, please review there diet and remember we can control health by what we eat!
We love you Bob! Here's to many more years of loving you.
