Observations on the effects of feeding a low protein diet to dogs with nephritis

Abstract: A clinical field trial of a low protein diet on dogs showing evidence of nephritis is reported. The symptoms observed in seventy‐five dogs are recorded and the effects of feeding a low protein diet to thirty of them are described. Three cases are recorded in detail. It was found that fasting blood urea levels were generally lowered after dietary therapy. A subjective assessment of each of the dogs treated was made by the attendant veterinary surgeon: twenty‐seven out of the thirty dogs were reported to show an… Show more

“…The remainder of the fluid for Farenteral administration should be isotonic (5% dextrose, or mixtures of 5% dextrose with either isotonic saline or balanced electrolyte). Nitrogenous waste products will be reduced further if small quantities of high quality dietary proteins are given (Richards and Hoe 1967;Edney 1970;Osborne 1972) and catabolic rate can be reduced by the administration of anabolic steroids.…”

“…Protein intake is reduced to lighten the excretory load of the kidneys, while the caloric value of the diet is raised to counter-balance the protein reduction and to ensure that body proteins will not have to be catabolised for energy (Giovannetti and Maggiore 1964;Richards and Hoe 1967;Edney 1970). The basal protein deficient diet used in man by Giovannetti and Maggiore (1964) contained 0.5 g of proteidkg body weight/day, with the bulk of the calories being supplied in animal and vegetable oils, starches, sugar and honey, In a long-term study of renal disease in dogs, Richards and Hoe (1967) fed a good quality meat and rice diet containing 0.75 g protein/kg body weight, with minor variations in some cases.…”
