Getting sufficient protein is very important...That's why even if the dog exhibits symptoms of HE, the above things I mentioned should be done in order to ensure the dog is able to handle the proper amount of protein. If there is a history of HE symptoms, it is important to start the dog out on the lower end of protein and work up *slowly* to the goal amount of protein...It should only be increased a small amount every 7-10 days to see how the dog handles it. If he/she does well, then increase again in 7-10 days...This helps the dog big time..
