Please get a second opinion...

And on the food, if he uses Science Diet like most vets do, it is the L/D that would be used. The canned is best. If he uses Royal Canin, it is the LS Hepatic (they put it right in the title) 14 that should be used (very palatable but some Yorkies get itchy on RC).
He did say that he could make a referral but it was like he kept stressing, "depends on how aggressive and extensive you want to go". It was almost like he was recommending not to. I want to do what is neccessary for her. My husband even said, the money doesn't matter it is what she needs.

I think I will get a second opinion. Thanks alot for your input
