Did they do a Acid Bile Test on her? How did they diagnose her? She needs to be on a Very Low PROTEIN diet. Here is some information for you...

Low Protein Food
Natural Balance Vegetarian
************ ********* ********* ********* *********
PetGuard Organic Vegetarian
************ ********* ********* ********* *********
Avoderm Vegetarian
************ ********* ********* ********* *********
For dogs with highly elevated bile acids, and/or neurological
symptoms, controlling the amount and type of protein is very
important. Only 2 grams of protein per kg. of your dog's weight
are recommended for severely affected pets for the day. This
can be gradually increased if your pet doesn't have symptoms
after one or two weeks.

4-6 small meals are recommended
Water added to food is recommended to help prevent formation of
crystals and stones and is a must for dogs that have had stones
already.

Recommended prescription foods:
Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 (prescription) this food is
available at Banfield's/Petsmart or can be ordered through
your vet.

www.southernagricul ture.com also carries it

One cup has an average of 16 grams of protein.

************ ********* ********* ********* *********
Hills's canned L/D is recommended and has about 16 grams of
protein per can.
************ ********* ********* ********* *********

Do NOT use raw diet.
************ ********* ********* ********* *********
Any meat is more difficult to metabolize and will cause more
toxins to build up in their systems. The effects of a meat
diet may not be obvious at first, but over weeks or months
can result in UTI, bladder stones, or even seizures in some
dogs. Soy and dairy protein are easier to metabolize and will
cause the least toxins to build up.

************ ********* ********* ********* *********
If your pet isn't eating or has vomiting, you can give
PediaSure-Vanilla flavor with fiber every couple of hours.
One 8oz. bottle of PediaSure has 7 grams of protein in it.

Other Items you can feed your dog in moderation for diet variation:

Apple bits (no skin)
Watermelon
Potatoes (not for dogs with kidney issues)
Pasta (can add a little low sodium chicken broth to this)
Noodles
Organic Plain flavored Yogurt (with live active cultures like
Stonyfield brand)
No sodium cottage cheese (Friendship) has 2% sodium
Low sodium Goat cheese (if 3% sodium or less)Redwood Hill Farm/plain
Low fat cottage cheese (only about a teaspoon) OR Cabot brand
which has live acidophilus and bifidus.
Sweet potatoes (not for dogs with neurological symptoms)
Egg whites(scrambled, hard boiled, etc.)one egg white has about
3.5 grams of protein (Do not give egg yolks)
NEVER GRAPES OR RAISINS!
Cheerios (not for dogs with neurological symptoms or those
that have had bladder stones)
Veggies - lightly steamed as dogs have a hard time digesting
them raw - Green/string beans also a viable choice.
Hope this will help you...Good luck God Bless and please keep us updated
