LOL!! She really knows how to twist your arm doesn't she!!
I don't really know since I haven't had that problem....Bella likes just about everything I give her--fruits, veggies, etc...
Plain (or even a few of the fruit ones) Non-Fat Yogurt and Friendship Low Sodium cottage cheese seem to be good treats for liver dogs. Both have protein, but since your baby is only 5 mo. old, I can't imagine using a bit of either as a treat would make any difference! (Is she symptomatic at all...I can't remember reading if she was or not? That would make a difference on protein amount, but its a GOOD protein so you'd just have to see how it affects her I guess IF she does have symptoms.
I have given Bella cereal before, and she LOVES that! Maybe yours would like the CRRRUNCH of that more. Try to go with Kashi or another organic kind that has just a few ingredients (for example, Chex has way too many ingredients to know if it would be ok or not, but Kashi has maybe 5 or 10 ingredients....much easier to sort through). My bet is she'll like the cereal! Other than that, there is a thread about treat recipes (Leo's Cookies and Peanut Butter Rounds I think were ones I thought would probably be okay for Bella--7 mo. old) so you can do a search for that. You'd have to bake those, of course, but I don't mind so maybe you don't?!
