Hi,
Yes that does help. I did not know about the other ingredients. I will try out the Pretty Bird food. I have read that sometimes a diet higher in animal protein can help with symptoms of insulinoma, so I figure it was something I would try. Merlins hypoglycemic eps have been more frequent and severe lately, so we put him on Pred. I was thinking maybe the diet in conjunction with the meds may not be a bad idea.
He is not a good surgical candidate due to his age and his weakened state from his adrenalectomy/liver lobectomy.
Thanks again,
Natasha
PS. The Pred has helped, the seizures have almost completely stopped.
