What type of omega 3 are you giving? Fish oil? How much?

The vet may not have a clue what VetriDMG is. Ellie's specialist never had heard of it.

I would be suspicious of her amylase being so high. That signals a problem with the pancreas. Ellie's pancreas is in question right now and she has high bile acids. The Actigall could be a good choice for this kind of thing but I would want a diagnosis first in your case (to make sure it's not a shunt). I'm not sure the pancreas can make the bile acids go up, but it seems possible in Ellie's case.
