Hi JediGirl, my yorkie also has MVD/HMD...When will you get the results of the liver biopsy?
There are many foods that are safe for liver compromised dogs...You're right about avoiding red meat...It produces the most toxins and should be completely avoided if she does have HMD. Has your yorkie had any UTIs or stones/crystals? If she has, then you definitely want to avoid anything with fish or fishmeal as it is high in purines.
Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 is a prescription food for liver compromised dogs. If no stones/crystals or UTIs, Solid Gold Holistique Blendz might be okay.
Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula should be fine...Avoderm Vegetarian, www.naturapet.com lists a food called Karma that the main protein source is chicken. This one might be a good one.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to join http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/L...d_MVD_Support/
Their FILES sections has an extensive amount of info on MVD/HMD and the member there have a ton of experience with these issues. There are also some recipes if you prefer to feed homemade food. They might have other suggestions for you.
I'll pray for your furbaby!!!
