A member on another forum I belong to whose Maltese has asymptomatic MVD recently had a consultation with Dr. Jean Dodds. I will cut and paste the results as she wrote them:
"My dogs are asymptomatic with MVD (shunt ruled out by liver scan and protein c) but Dr. Dodds told me absolutely no raw food for them and no wheat, no corn, no soy and no dairy (use Goats Milk yogurt if they like yogurt). No red meat; chicken ok; turkey not so good; white fish best choice, but no salmon (check mercury levels at gotmercury.org). Supplements are Milk Thistle (marin has liver in it so you may not want it; hepatosupport is a good alternative); SAMe is good for the liver; skip dandelion root even though its good for the liver its also a diuretic, which is not good." |
