My 8 year-old Bernese Mountain Dog has been diagnosed with Wobbler Syndrom. He has to take Gabapentin and Dexamethazon everyday and definately needs to lose weight!!

When he got diagnosed, my vet put him on PurinaOM he did lose a little bit of weight, but then he gained it all back plus and extra 5lbs!. Two weeks ago I switched him to Oven Baked Tradition (senior formula), and feed him the recommended portion for the IDEAL WEIGHT, but he still doesn't lose a pound after 14 days!

I never give him treats and he eats 2 times a day.

Of course with a healthy people would just suggest me too find him a high protein healthy food and force him to do a lot of exercise, but with this damn Wobbler syndrome everything normally healthy for a dog becomes dangerous : high protein will "give more work" to his liver while his hepatic results are already too high, and exercise, well of course it hurts him and makes his symptom worse.

I am so desperate, any advise, reference, help or testimonial would be very appreciated!
