I do not notice any symptoms like you mentioned. I did buy natural balance with fresh chicken and switched her off Iams toy breed to this on Friday. This has 23% crude protein, wonder if this is low enough? Since changing her food I did notice that her bowel movements seem to be easier for her, prior she passed very hard stools and was difficult. The vet did not do a biopsy while doing her spay, initially he thought her high liver levels could have been something she had gotten into that did not agree with her ex. toxic.
