My vet didn't know very much about shunt/mvd. I asked her if she could consult with someone else... Not sure which vet she contacted but after bile acids, blood pannel, urinalysis tests we then did the protein C then she wanted to do an ultrasound, after reading on here I opted for scintigraphy instead. I am so sorry to hear about Lacy not feeling well, It gets better once you know for sure.
also the Ziwi peak is a really great treat but so high in purines, this is the treat we were feeding when Copper started having neurological problems.
Cop has now been diagnosed with MVD, we home cook, and he loves his "new" food.
I have learned that it is not so much the amount of protein but the kind, you already know that to little protein is bad for the liver, we feed proteins that are low in purines white fish is great, eggs, plain full fat yogurt, cottage cheese... There are also dog foods that are designed to rehydrate and then add in raw, when I dont have time to cook or puree I use this and then add a low purine protein and suppliments.
Sending warm wishes to you and Lacy, I hope that you get answers soon.
