He did say that there was always a possibility, but he didn't think it would happen with Indy because there didn't seem to be any other liver issues. For a year his bile acids were very low after the surgery and he seemed to thrive. I mix the dry with the canned. I prefer dry, but when he was sick he wouldn't eat it dry so I mixed just a little canned with it. It's the only way he'll eat it.
The dry L/D contains pork which can be hard on the liver.
How about Royal Canin LS 14? Or canned L/D all the time?
Most vets would probably say the dry L/D is fine but really it isn't the best. Vegetarian foods or egg are best, then white fish and then poultry.
