A raw diet may not be appropriate for Morgan. It is usually recommended only for healthy dogs with no underlying medical conditions. Lady is a diabetic and cannot have raw. Her body can't handle the bacteria in raw like a healthy dog can.

Liver compromised dogs do best on high quality proteins from chicken, white fish, eggs, cottage cheese and tofu as they produce the least amount of ammonia. Red meat produces the most. If the liver is damaged, the ammonia will get into their system.

Here is a great article about nutrition and the liver:
