I appreciate your opinion. I Believe that I am only supposed to have him on this diet for three weeks, until he gets bloodwork done again, and is over the hump. I am supplimenting with fresh veggies/fruit, as 60ml twice a day isn't enough for him, he's 2.5kg (way too light for a 10 year old Ig). His appetite is finally back, thank goodness. He stopped eating on his own 2 months ago, and is now ravenously eating on his own, kind of (I have to direct the food to him since he can't find it and gets really frustrated!

Its really expensive stuff, $12.50 per pouch that will only last about 2.5 days! WOW! But my baby is worth is, for 3 weeks at least. After that its back to the fresh stuff.

My vet really doesn't like the MK diet, with no green leafy vegs, so I'll have to dink around and just add a good variety of veggies and fruit. You'd think that after 10 years (with the same IG) I'd have a good handle on the diet, but with so much controversy out there its just down right frustrating.

Blah Blah Blah, I could go on forever!
