She is on kibble---canidae. Since you asked, that just got me to thinking, I wonder if she would chew raw bones since they seem much more enticing to other dogs ??? Hmm...maybe I ought to try that....

Thank you for your advice

I wouldn't give kibble to her at all. Canned food would be so much healthier. She won't have to swallow it whole and it is good for the liver anyway.

I think it is entirely possible that she is seizing because of her liver. It could very possibly be a shunt or MVD. She needs to be bile acid tested. If it is an extrahepatic shunt, they could try to repair it. If it is intrahepatic or MVD, she could go on supplements and a different diet and maybe even feel tons better.
