Mix 25%, 50%, 75% of the new food with the current food (boiled chicken and rice) before switching to 100% hypoallergenic diet.- If clinical signs resolve, plan to re-challenge with previous food items (e.g., chicken, beef) to identify the trigger protein.- If no improvement or condition worsens after 4-5 weeks, or if systemic signs like vomiting or lethargy develop, a recheck examination is recommended.- Further diagnostics if required include faecal analysis, blood tests (including vitamin B levels), and an abdominal ultrasound to investigate for IBD or other structural abnormalities.- Discussed that beef and chicken are common allergens in dogs.- Follow-up in 6-8 weeks to assess response to the diet trial.Client communication:- Discussed the nature of a hydrolysed diet and the rationale for an elimination diet trial.- Explained the signs of large bowel diarrhoea (mucus, blood, soft-serve consistency).- Outlined the diagnostic and management plan, including the staged approach starting with dietary modification.- Discussed potential diagnoses including food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, and vitamin B deficiency.- Advised client on how to transition the food and the importance of strict dietary adherence during the trial.- Client was informed that if the diet trial is successful, long-term management may involve a novel protein or continued hydrolysed diet.- Client has pet insurance with Medibank and was advised the clinic can submit claims on their behalf.- Client understands the plan and when to seek re-evaluation.
