Question
Ijust today got a 22 month old male shih tzu, he is on Hills S/D.  The owner had him on S/D and C/D both at the same time.  He is on antibiotics Baytril.  She apparently was giving him snacks, weights 21 lbs.  what kind of snacks can he have?  and what hard food should he eat besides S/D.  I understand that S/D is only until he clears up and then back to the C/D? what food is it that should be eliminated, the way I undestood, is that he should not have much protein? is that correct.

Answer
Good morning, Carolyn.

That's really too bad that such a young dog is already having such problems.

Please email me privately at GVigneault@newfoundnaturals.com so I can send you links to studies done on diet and stone formation so you have a better understanding on the role diets play.  From there, we can certainly discuss what diet would be appropriate for your girl.
