There is your answer right there.
Liver compromised dogs shouldn't be eating red meat.
It causing ammonia (toxins) to build up causing neurologic symptoms.
The same goes for organ meat.
You may get away with chicken but whitefish, egg white, cottage cheese and tofu are better choices.
Do you have the guaranteed analysis for this diet?
What foods set off her IBD, allergies and food sensitivities?
Ellie has all of those issues too (IBD/food sensitivities/allergies).
Thankfully her liver isn't nearly as bad as it could be.
