From Google: "Peanut butter is rich in heart-healthy fats and is a good source
of protein, which can be helpful for vegetarians looking to include more
protein in their diets. A 2-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains up to
8 grams of protein and 2 to 3 grams of fiber."

My Vet told me _no_ protein because her liver and kidneys are failing along
with some of her other organs (the blood test tells it all).  When I got
desperate to get some of these meds in her I did put a really small touch of
peanut butter on her lip.. then she licked that and it caused her to swallow -
but that's it.

The insane thing is this kind of thing used to be so easy with my two dogs
when Indy was alive (Sophie's brother).  I could just stick meds in some beef
or chicken and they'd wolf it down. Now I can use bread with her, that kind of
works.  But the first reason I even called the vet was because she stopped
eating - and she still isn't eating ...

Right now she's finished the antibiotics he gave me (thank god those are
done), and she will get thyroid meds every day - it's a really small tab that
I can slip in her mouth.

Take care,
Janis
