I have read some of the info on the Ursodiol but i don't understand it. I read about gallbladdar and things like that.

Am I understanding this correctly?
The canned Wellness is great for them UNLESS they have liver problems.
SO, if by feeding her this and it effects her liver then it definitely means that something is wrong with her liver? Canned food just doesn't effect the liver and even if you disc use of it and then the liver goes back to normal. I think it is all starting to make sense. I am just wondering if it made her values increase so much in just a month - and while on the Demarin too. Thats why i thought at first that maybe the denamarin maybe made her value increase. but i have learned now from you that it is to help her.

Also this may not be anything to worry sick about- I would just have to supplement her diet to keep her liver functioning normal.

I am wondering if my other Yorkie Sadie should have a bile acid test now too. My husband says no- she is fine... but we don't know this bc it can happen w/o any symptoms.

If anything for peace of mind I would want a bat done on her. When we first found out about Samie's calcium oxalate crystals, I decided to have Sadie checked to with a urinalysis (they have same mothers but diff papa's) Two different litters.. it was then that we learned of Sadies Protein loss disease. I would have never know about it until we tested her.

It was during the 3 mos of testing her for various things and trying different doses of meds that I started to see her losing a lot of muscle. She got very skinny and I when i would bite her little cheeks ( i know i am crazy... LOL) It was then that i noticed she was becoming skeletal. I could see her neck bone when she was laying on the floor next to me. SO I think we caught this protein disease before it got real bad.

So that's why part of me wants to have her tested. They have some of the same blood lines so it just makes me worry. So now I also have stopped giving sadie the wellness canned food too. Just in case. I mean i was giving her more of it just bc it seemed to help her skin and allergies and the specialist said good quality protein was good for them. However- he doesn't yet know of samie's liver issues... sadie loves the wellness canned. I am sad that I can't let her have it anymore but i have to be careful.

Also- do you think it would be a good idea to give sadie a liver supplement too?

I just don't understand the Ursodiol at all. I understand the Denamarin and what it is supposed to do. (I think) :-)
