In Reply to: Once again thanks for all the advice, and al has had his last dog food.. posted by Mickey(TLK) on February 01, 2001 at 21:59:49:

: : I really like banana pudding and rare steak, but my wife keeps it away from me, because she knows I shouldn't eat it. I'm surprised that your vet seems to condone the dog food, but as you say, he's not a herp vet..... The problem is that the protein level is just way too high for an Ig's kidneys to handle, and they'll eventually fail and kill the animal. Igs are hard to force a diet change on, but once they get on a proper diet, they relish it as much as they ever did the wrong food.
