Issue on GOOD PROTEIN vs. BAD PROTEIN

[jacejace]

NAKU sana sagot kayo lahat sa thread na to ah kasi in dilema ako.. This is my story...

Alam naman ng mga nakakakilala sa akin na madalas ako magpacheck up ng dogs sa vet... well this is what my vet told me over a check up.. yung protein daw sa urine ni chumchum medyo high na so i should watch out daw.. it's not a problem YET pero i have to be cautious daw since it causes problem sa urinary tract.. kasi pala ang stones di lang pala cause ng sobrang acidity cause din pala ung excess protein... ayun so nagtataka naman ako kung bakit ganon? I mean i dont feed them just anything.. I feed them dry kibbles and sa night i mix some boiled livers... tapos naglecture na ang vet ko regarding good and bad proteins.. sabi nya ang meat daw ng mga cows pigs chicken etc nahahati sa 2 daw consumption wise... yung mga good parts or healthy parts are being sold for human consumption while ung mga natitira daw like liver, intestines blah blah are used for animal by products and sometimes pede natin kainin in MODERATION daw... why? kasi ang mga good parts consists of good proteins meaning low protein but high digestibility... and yung bad proteins naman daw have high protein but low digestibility... yun daw ang problem most of the times kasi excess proteins that our dogs cant rid off will accumulate and magiging stones in the long run which must be surgically removed and protein stones nakita nyo na? malaki sya compared sa ibang type ng stones... kakatakot now my vet suggest mag convert daw ako sa prepared recipe for dogs like COOK ng sadya for dogs.. well sa akin ok lang yun since i have YAYA to do that for me.. pero OK BA TALAGA na ganon gawin ko?? now ginawa ko pa lang instead of mixing boiled livers bumibili talaga ako ng fine ground beefs para halo sa food nila at night.. i'm hoping bababa yung protein ng urine ni chumchum... HELP naman on what should i do regarding this matter di din ako makapag decide THANKS so much

Clues to Liver Disease
Cynthia Smith, D.V.M.


Recent research has revealed the first firm evidence for what may cause chronic hepatitis, a progressive and potentially fatal condition that affects many dogs. The cause of chronic hepatitis, for example, an inherited defect, a drug-related reaction or an infection, is identified in relatively few cases. Most cases are idiopathic - the cause remains unknown. For years, researchers suspected an underlying autoimmune disorder, that is, the body's immune system attacks its own liver cells.

A recent study identified a group of dogs with chronic hepatitis that has specific antibodies against the liver. This is the first definitive evidence that supports the autoimmune theory. hile this information is preliminary, further research is underway that may reveal whether a test can identify dogs with chronic hepatitis caused by an autoimmune disorder. If reliable tests for autoimmune hepatitis can be designed then treatment, monitoring and predicting a prognosis may be more specific and more accurate, and therefore, more successful.

Symptoms of chronic hepatitis range from none to weight loss, anorexia, lethargy, jaundice and death. The disorder may remain stable throughout a dog's life or may be progressive and fatal.

Diagnosis begins with routine blood work that should reveal abnormalities in liver values. X-rays may reveal an increase or decrease in liver size. Ultrasound is the most valuable technique for evaluating liver size and texture. Ultrasound also allows guided biopsies with little or no anesthetic, eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. Treatment and prognosis depend on whether a cause is identified.
