I took Lilly to the vet today because of a bleeding paw.
Before the vet even looked at her she discussed Lilly's diet, home, bedding, etc.
She mentioned Lilly is overweight and could be one source of her foot issues.
The vet gave me a print out that recommends giving the chins unlimited greens and cutting back on pellet food, its actually based on a rabbits diet. This seems totally contradictory to alot of the info I've seen on this board.
Actually alot of what she said contradicts what I've learned to believe.
She recommended carefresh over any other bedding and said in the meantime before I switch over to carefresh I can use shredded newspaper and mentioned the ink won't affect them if they decide to eat it.
I know she's a vet but I'm really hesitant to start feeding my chins greens.
Here's some of the articles I was supplied with.
