This is what frustrates me... the fact that they call some of those brands high quality!?!?
Many vets/specialists will tell you to feed whatever you want after surgery....but they are not dealing with the dog on a day to day basis...Many of them do not continue to see them for the duration of their lives and do not follow along with everything that happens to the dog, so many *think* it's okay when it's actually not for many...I prefer to err on the side of caution. NB vegetarian is *not* too little protein. It is formulated for healthy dogs for all life stages. Also, the RC Hepatic can be given with added protein. How much does your yorkie weigh? Is this dog ever a picky eater?

I have had to take my liver compromised yorkie's health into my own hands because vets were just not giving me enough answers...Once I started implementing things that I had learned and researched, I saw a significant improvement in my yorkie.
