My best guess is that you heard this wrong. I would contact the vet and ask again. It was probably just a communication issue between the two of you.
no i heard right, they wanted me to put her on the science diet kd and i said she had a reaction to that, then find something with theh 4% level like kd had. i heard the tech ask the vet, i heard what the vet said. i actually called back after the first time they said low protein cuz i didnt know how low. they are worried about a liver stunt.
im not doing super low protein though, since she needs to grow. im really thinking it was from low blood sugar though. so im doing low protien wet science diet, not kd, that she doesnt have a reaction with, with some blue bufalllo that she was eatingn before. just more wet then blue. this way she still gets some growing needed protein.
this is totally insane but this puppy is gonna be going on walks with me still when she is 5years old. and 9 years old. I will not let her die.

Positive attitude - that makes a world of difference whether you are dealing with illness yourself or for someone else - human or animal.
thank you. well after saving skyes life and not giving up (my macaw), there was just something more stronger between our bond. i leave the room she yells momma. Belle and i have a strong bond too already, she loves me so much and loves to snuggle when she isnt going through her lets growl and nip on fingers, little gentle tap on the snout, no belle stops that. im trying to be positive and use intuition as well as vet advice. but i just honestly dont feel that giving her low protein is the best thing as she is a growing puppy. this puppy still has loose stools, and ya i wonder why with all the different foods. im feeding her the blue, which i put down for jake, tried to make her the special food the vet said and she went and ate the blue out of jakes bowl. i think im gonna give it one more month and if next month she has one of theses seizures, then ill consider low protein, least she will be a month older and still getting nutrition in her younger stages. i dont want her to not develop properly. she is running and playing, does laps around the yard (man i want that kind of energy). so the whole thing is just strange to me.

I suspect she has loose stools *because* of all the different foods you're feeding her! Puppies need a consistent diet, and she hasn't had a chance for her system to adjust to one. You can't let her eat whatever's there for the other animals. She should be fed one good food that works for her all the time. Feed her in her crate if she insists on bowl surfing, and pick up the other dog's food so she can't get to it.
i never said it was difficult. the blue is the food she has been eating until the vet said low protein which i didnt agree on. when she is into the crate she will still eat the blue. i switched foods so many times because i did what the vet said and what people on this board said to do. vet said puppy chow, then someone on here said the blue was better for, someone said the innova was a good food, then the vet wanted her on low protein so i did that. so much for following advice. so when she bowl surfs she is getting the blue.
Having a picky dog that won't eat anything, and a dog who will eat everything, here is what I decided.
Fluffy was on the same dog food until just a week or two ago. A puppy is only a puppy for 12 months. Why change foods while the puppy is a puppy? There's no need to change up puppy kibble. Fluffy was on Eukanuba puppy. Since she's a little over 11 months I went ahead and switched her over to her adult dog food - Blue Buffalo. I will not switch unless something happens like she refuses to eat it, there is a recall, or they make a drastic change in the formula.
Smudge was a bit different. I should have done the same thing I did for Fluffy, but I did not. Can't change the past though. He is on his pernament food, too. It is the same as Fluffy's.
Your vet should be telling you not to switch foods up, too. When Smudge was refusing to eat my vet told me not to keep going through different foods and hope he will eat it, because I was messing with his stomach. Constantly changing foods can seriously hurt your dog! We went with an rx food for a while just to get Smudge to eat. It was a canned rx food, because he refused the dry.
