Patients with glomerulonephritis should be fed a protein-restricted diet which you can only really get from a prescription veterinary diet like Hill's k/d. These renal diets have the following attributes that aid in managing this disease: * increased omega-3 and omega -6 fatty acids in the appropriate ratios * restricted sodium controls hypertension and fluid retention * restricted phosphorus * omega-3 fatty acids to decrease pressure in the kidneys, I suggest you speak to your vet about getting Pitsho on a prescription veterinary diet. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
