RC Hepatic LS 14 is a great food for dogs with liver problems. If your vet said not to add additional proteins such as cottage cheese and stuff like that, then I wouldn't consider putting her on a food with animal proteins just yet. Wait until your vet says it's okay. The reason being that animal proteins are so much harder for their livers to process...I would hate for your baby to start having symptoms because she's having a hard time with the animal proteins, ya know? Keep us posted! Milk thistle and Sam-E are wonderful supplements that help the liver. They can be purchased at any pharmacy around the vitamin/supplement area. They say to give 1/4 of the human dose of milk thistle, which you can buy in liquid form(probably easier) and the Sam-E is great too. Buy the lower dose one (200mg or under). The Sam-E cannot be broken or it loses its effectiveness, so you have to give it whole. Did your vet prescribe lactulose?
