Might want to look into adding n’zymes to his diet.

Do not feed your dog anything raw- that will only make things worse. The Missing Link as discussed is a great supplement. Flint River ranch is a fantastic diet- all natural and 98% ddigestible. I have a dog with a very bad back- I feed him the Flint River Ranch and I also have him on Dasaquin. You should get him on some sort of Glucosamine/Chondritin supplement- I get the Dasaquin at a good price through work- but it is very important to get him on something.

I would not change her diet too much. You dont want the dog to get sick while getting better either. The Missing Link is a good supplement but I's ask your vet about any other changes you wish to make. You dont want a sick dog on your hands too.

Any well balanced high qulaity food plan will promote the health and immune system of your dog. Unfortunatley,there is no one ingredient that will make Sammy heal quicker. A well balanced raw regime is good for the dog. I don't know if I would switch during a recuperative time though as a dietary change may put more stress on his system.

Look up Missing Link. That is a good supplement. Also, you might look into dog food with arthritis formula. And some raw veggies (not garlic, onions, grapes, or raisins) would not hurt.

My dog is recovering from a herniated disk. What food would promote the best healing?
My Toy Poodle, Sammy, is in his third day of healing from a chair falling on him. He still has some pain and the vet has him on bed rest and pain meds for a month. Is there a food or combination of foods that will promote the best healing? Example: meats from the market?

Any and all suggestions are highly appreciated! Gotta get my baby boy back on his feet.
