Thank you DuleekDandy, that's great! I have a packet of it now and am just defrosting it, I hope she likes it!! It really does seem it has helped other dogs. Also, that's really helpful, I am going to do as you suggest and feed one morning and one evening. The kidney diet page is now in my favourites too! I have just compiled my shopping list for tomorrow and am going to try cooking her some of those recipes. Even though I'm really worried about her, part of me is really reinvigorated by the fact that there seem so many options to help her. And Wispa's mum, I'm going to call Lori Rose and give that a try too, as that is another great avenue I can pursue, thank you! xx

Hi Cinders, in January 2015 we were told (and saw the scans and blood tests confirmed) of our dear Basil and his liver and kidneys were absolutely terrible - almost non functioning and polycystic. I contacted Lori Rose the homeopathic vet and I am sure to this day that he kept going for almost a year an a half with the assistance of this along with what was prescribed from the vets. We were desperately clutching at straws - literally tried everything going but It was just his back legs that let him down in the end. It is worth a try........ x

Hi Cinders, I'm so sorry to hear that Evi is poorly. I would second what Linda said about getting some from Pets at Home to try.....I get the large bags and find they are good for taking out some to defrost. As for the raw/kibble mixed dilemma......how about giving some tripe in the morning and then the kibble late afternoon? The reason they say not to mix is that it is believed that the raw is digested much quicker than the kibble. Also, have a look at this......may give you some tips https://www.ngap.org/kidney-diet-y554.html Sending love & positive thoughts xx

Thank you muddypaws for your kind words and encouragement. And LindaPaul, that's great as well, I have got some minced tripe from pets at home now - I don't think it's the green tripe, but it does look good and I'm going to try Evi on it tomorrow. Sebby, that's brilliant, what you did is exactly what I thought of doing, mixing the dry food with a bit of green tripe on top. I'm a worrier just like you! I also read somewhere that tap water isn't great so I am now filtering all of Evi's water. Trial and error is fine - Evi is worth it! I'm going to phone Julie about the homeopathic vet treatment too. Evi is going to get every single chance she can, and I am so grateful to you all for helping her and me like this xx

I first started with my ted just feeding Canin Renal dry diet which I did soak, he ate it at first BUT to me it looked so bland (compared to what his grey pals were getting) I then introduced a small bit of green tripe on top of his feed. To be honest it was all a case of trial and error, I monitord him daily (if not hourly) am bit of a worrier, BUT I can say this ted lived an awful lot longer than was originally thought and enjoyed his life until I knew it was time for him to play up above. I hope this info helps u all.

Hi Cinders. You should find the Nature's Menu frozen minced tripe in places like Pets at Home or Just for Pets. It comes in blocks which are about 500g but you can get bigger bags. Really sorry your lovely Evi is unwell. Keeping everything crossed for her. Julie Sadler is the one to talk to about homeopathic vets etc. Sure her number is on the south Birmingham training class link on this site. Xx
