He just keeps on pushing the scintigraphy for confirmation. Does Dr. Tobias include the scan in her cost? The vet just said to put the puppy on Hill's L/D or K/D. Is the kibble or canned better? I also asked him about the lactulose and he said that it was a good idea. My puppy is 3 lbs, how much should he be on? He didn't mention any other supplements, but there are several mentioned. What are they and what do they exactly do? |
K/D is low in protein, so vets tend to grab it for liver disease but it is the wrong kind of protein. L/D canned is the best in the science diet line for this.
I'm not sure if the scintography is included in the cost at UT.
Fish oil is an anti-inflammatory.
Denosyl or Vetri DMG helps repair the liver and helps prevent further damage.
Not sure of the lactulose dose but if you search on YT, you might find it.
