I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this with Annie. PFK is not very common, so I'm not sure that you are going to be able to find good information about treating it. My best suggestion would be to try to find a veterinarian that is trained in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). They may be able to help create a diet for Annie and find a Chinese herbal formulation that would be appropriate for her. Hopefully you can find a TCVM practitioner near you here. http://www.tcvm.com/Resources/FindaTCVMPractitioner.aspx You could also look for a holistic veterinarian here. https://www.ahvma.org/find-a-holistic-veterinarian/ Or a homeopathic veterinarian here. http://theavh.org/referrals/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
