I don't mind posting it right here...I already have talked about her.
Her name is Rebecca Remillard and she has more qualifications than I can even comprehend. She is one of the best in the world. Her site is petdiets.com but it is best to use that site if your dog is perfectly healthy. If not, you can contact her directly through MSPCA/Angell Memorial in Boston and have a phone consult with her. The consult and recipe is about $160. The number is (617) 522-7282. Following the prompts to get to that department takes a looong time. She will want you to read his blood test results possibly and explain in depth about your pup's health problems.
I don't always recommend going this way because she likes the BalanceIT line of supplements and I don't like their general mix for healthy dogs, but they use BalanceIT K for dogs with liver issues and I like it better. That is what Ellie uses. She has high bile acids. She might give you a list of different proteins, carbs and veggies you can chose from. I'd recommend not feeding red meat or pork even if it is on the list. Maybe she would create a diet with fish, egg or cottage cheese for your pup instead.
There is also Dr. Wakshlag out of Cornell and may be okay.
All veterinary schools should have one on staff.
Wylie's Mom also likes her nutritionist, Susan Davis.
