High protein can cause neurologic symptoms and shouldn't be given to liver compromised dogs. One bite a day may not hurt but I wouldn't try it. The dog without the liver issue can still have it...

I think all Yorkies should have a bile acid test, so I would do the bile acid test on the one that hasn't had it yet but I wouldn't limit her protein til then and I would not supplement her. You don't know if there is a problem yet and there probably isn't.

Instead of googling Ursodiol, google Ursodiol bile acids. This med is used for more than one thing... I wouldn't hesitate to give it. She is under the supervision of a vet.

Does this help?

Have you looked into the Protein C test?
