Don't cry!! It will be okay...First, let's find out if there's even anything wrong with her liver...My first piece of advice is to re-do the bile acid test in a couple of weeks...make sure she has not received any heartworm or flea meds within this time frame, as I believe this can throw the test off...

If the pH is too acidic, your dog can form calcium oxalate stones..If it's too alkaline, your dog can form struvite stones. That's what I meant by off...I think the target pH is more in the 7-range.

As far as food goes, if you homecook and give the right kinds of food (no high oxalate and very little to no medium oxalate), then in theory, she should not need the potassium citrate...BUT you would have to talk to your vet about this.

Can you remind me what is in this wellness food?
