Again, can't thank you all enough for sharing your valuable information. I'm a bit overwhelmed, reading, printing, and trying to understand everything, and ordering additional supplements. I'll continue Marin just for now, and hope that at 1/4 tab. per day, there isn't enough bad stuff to be harmful short term. I'll order everything else, so I can try it too.
The other vet at our clinic who will oversee Tiki's case next week is the only Board Certified Surgeon on Maui, and also specializes in integrated vet medicine including acupuncture, Chinese medicine and herbology. His link is

I'm expecting that he will be open to all the support info I have gathered, and it will be an interesting consult. I will "invite" him to consult with the other experts you have all mentioned here.
It will take time to fine tune diet for Tiki. So far she and the other 2 are not wild about the Natural Balance Vegetarian, and they are looking hungy and kinda mad. They even dug under the couch cushion and got out Meika's secret stash of treats that she had stockpiled. Poor babies.
