Healthy diet for puppy with Lymphedema

rae316 posted:

Long story short, my 8 week puppy has lymphedema, when i first got her at a younger age her back 2 legs were already swollen. I currently have my puppy on Biorutin, givinh her epsom salt baths, and bandaging her back 2 legs. I'm working on a healthy diet and lifestly for my puppy, my main focus is to prove these vets wrong. Any tips on a good diet to put my puppy on? I currently have her on Blue Wilderness Puppy Food, she doesn't really like it that much unless i mix it up with regular foods like sliced up turkey, chicken, rice, etc...
