Question Food After Liver Shunt Surgery

Hi everyone,

As some of might know, the new lil' guy Trooper that I recently adopted had liver shunt surgery in the summer. The vet said he has a clean bill of health now and recommended to his foster family that he can be fed a normal diet, and they have him on Wellness (dry & wet). I checked with my vet and she agreed, but when I joined the LS Group on Yahoo I was told that he should still be eating a low protien diet like Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 so that he doesn't have anymore attacks/complications later in life. Now I'm torn and don't know what direction to go... I'm still feeding him Wellness, but does anyone have any suggestions/opinions/experiance with liver shunt babies. If you have a liver shunt baby, what have you been feeding them since their surgery???

I appreciate the help.
