Thanks Steph. I do plan to eliminate the dry food all together. I guess I didn't realize that dry food was unnecessary and that she could go a few hours without having food available since we did not do this in the past!

Dan- I too questioned the vet on why they didn't see the ultrasound necessary at this point. I was told that since her bloodwork was normal as well as some of the other tests that they ran, they didn't see having her stay an extra night for the test. If it happens again they will do it. Without insurance, we already had a pretty high bill racked up and honestly my husband and I are both crazy and wouldn't have cared if they did further testing as long as she was ok! We actually pushed for additional bloodwork. We can go back at anytime to have it done and we are considering this if any symptoms continue.

We both love our baby and are willing to do whatever is best for her and that is why I came here. I hoping to find the best diet to help her with the possible issues. I guess it is hard since we don't have a definite answer on what she had though. I have also been considering raw and have heard some good things about Nature's variety. Does anyone know much about this brand?

I'm in the UK and I think the suppliers over here are different from where you are. I feed raw, plus some commercial wet (Bozita) to mine and it's not as bad as I thought it might be. I put off trying it because I thought it would be unpleasant, but apart from a little blood when it defrosts (which I just tell myself is gravy ) it's not so different in consistency from a high meat content commercial food.

However, I think you need to be wary about changing her diet too often so if the Hill's wet is working, then keep her on that for a while and let things settle before you change it again.

I'm a bit like you in that I've always left dry down 24 hours a day "just in case" and they do seem to like it. If I took it away now, they'd probably miss it but they'd soon adjust and if your girl hasn't got into a fixed routine yet then she'll be fine with regular meals of sufficient wet.
