This is my precious sweet girl that passed on August 31 and I’m heartbroken. She and her brother were left in a shoebox at the pound. I adopted her at eight weeks to become a service dog for my wheelchair bound mom. Mom passed after having her for five months so she became mine.
After eating kibble and people food for those few months, I had researched and found Nora (RMF) and put her on the sweet potato quinoa diet. For a while, she was fine and then she started dribbling urine when she was sleeping. I did not want to take her to a vet, but after years it was getting worse. The vet did bloodwork and said she had a UTI and her bloodwork showed one point away from kidney failure. He said within 3 months she would need to be put on medicine for the rest of her life. I thought I had done everything right and I felt defeated and did as the vet said. He said to put her on Purina kibble food (the best according to him) and he gave her a steroid shot, an antibiotic shot and antibiotic pills. The next morning her abdomen was bloody and raw. I called the vet and all he could say was that she was a sick dog.
I went back to the Internet to research and found that Lauren had left that group and had started her own group. After fasting her a couple of days, I began five days of fruit and one meat day, then a fasting day. Buffy took to this diet immediately. We never looked back. She became full of life and never went to a vet or took medicine again. She lived many years after the kidney failure diagnosis and was with me for 15 years and 3 months. Her passing was traumatic to me but she passed when it was her time and she never suffered. It was just hard to watch knowing the end was near. I will always be grateful to Lauren and this group.
Just an interesting fact: I found out the state I live in and many others do not allow you to put an animal in the ground that has been euthanized because the drugs are so poisonous and will contaminate and destroy the wildlife, the insects, the grass and trees, and also it seeps into the ground water.
