He really likes NB Sweet Potato and chicken and if his bloodwork stays normal, I think he will be okay on that. My vet took him off of the lactulose when the pancreatitis was diagnosed. This is making me a bit nervous as his poops have gotten very hard. Does anyone know if lactulose is okay for a dog in Joey's situation?
Bummer so your dog did not like the purina ha could you home cook the liver cleansing diet? I have read that dogs that have the surgery for liver shunt can go back to a normal diet but i would check with dr tobias before doing anything or your internal medicine specialist.
