I am praying that the canned food and treats caused her numbers to be higher or off. she also had heartguard 2 wks prior to her retest and i have heard that this can throw off the bat as well. she is allergic to corn and the pres diets do not thrill me AT ALL. |
Don't put her on a low protein diet unless your vet tells you to do so. That is outdated thinking. Dr. Center does not recommend a low protein diet for asymptomatic MVD dogs. Recent studies have shown that a low protein diet can actually harm the liver. Dogs need protein.
What you want to feed her is high quality protein that is easy for her liver to process. Cottage cheese, tofu, eggs, whitefish and chicken are just a few. Red meat is not recommended. Venison is red meat and I believe duck is too. Wellness makes a whitefish and sweet potato food that would be a better choice.
