How many times a day is she fed?

The canned L/D is a better food for liver compromised dogs because the dry contains pork which is hard for the lvier to process. Most vets just know that dogs with LS need low protein and don't pay close attention to the type of protein being given but this is very important. If you want to feed kibble, Royal Canin makes one called Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14. It is very palatable but RC has made many Yorkies very itchy. It is worth a try though.
