[Yorkieluv]

Has the yorkie had a BAT recently? If so, what were the results? I would not feed any foods containing red meat or organ meats to a dog who has had a liver shunt even if it's been repaired. You could try Natural Balance Vegetarian which is an all life stages food AND it's not a prescription food...Yes, many dogs who have had liver shunt surgery still end up having liver issues later in life whether it be months or years later. I prefer to provide liver support to dogs who have a history of liver problems...It doesn't hurt them to eat foods that are appropriate for liver problems...It's not just that low protein is needed, it's that they need the right kind of protein...I wouldn't give any high purine/protein foods that contain fish, red meat, organ meats, or pork. Honestly, I would go with vegetarian food, but that's just me....
RC Hepatic food is vegetarian, but is low protein, so if the dog has completely normal BAT results and no symptoms whatsoever, I would add protein to the food in the form of no sodium cottage cheese or goat milk protein powder, egg whites, or low sodium goat cheese.
