If this is the case, then take 100 minus 80 (the amount of moisture) which equals 20. Then look at the amount of protein which you say is 5 and then divide that by the 20 which equals 25%.
Again, this depends on the amount of moisture listed. It could be slightly more or slightly less.
Which prescription food did they give you specifically. It should not be K/D or U/D or S/D because they contain pork liver and other ingredients that are not recommended for liver compromised dogs. Yes, they are lower in protein, BUT it's the wrong kind...It should be L/D which is specifically for dogs who have liver problems or are suspected of having liver problems. |

It was K/D. I'll see if they have the L/D.
