CANINE DIET FOR KIDNEY PROBLEMS
1/2 cup (1/4 pound)regular-fat hamburger
2 3/4 cups cooked white rice, enriched
1 egg
2 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil
600 milligrams calcium
1/8 teaspoon iodized salt
2 tablespoons parsley, finely grated carrot or other vegetable (optional)
1/2-1 clove garlic, minced (for flavor)
Dog vitamins (as recommended on label for medium-size dog)
20-milligram-level B complex
5,000 IU vitamin A
1,000 milligrams vitamin C (1/4 teaspoon sodium ascorbate)
Mix all ingredients together and serve raw if the dog will accept it. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, bake about 20 minutes in a moderate oven and then wait until it cools to mix in the vitamins. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for part of the meat. Be sure to provide plenty of fresh, pure water (filtered or bottled) at all times.
YIELD: Generally, feed as much as your dog will eat, but, as a guideline, this recipe should feed a 10-pound toy for three days or a 40-pound dog for a day. By tripling it you can feed a 60-pound dog for two days. Multiply the recipe as needed for convenience.
