Hi everyone,

I have a 5 yr old, 5 lb yorkie who was diagnosed with slightly elevated bile acid at about 30 and has a bladder stone.

He needs an operation to get this stone out but first we have to get his weight up.

I was told to put him on the Hills Medical preventative, but he lost interest and i noticed he also lost muscle mass and weight of course.

I have been feeding him raw for 2 weeks now. His energy levels are much different, hes more excited to eat etc.

BUT here is my question if he has a liver problem (not shunts already ruled out with diagnosis) but possibly maybe have a liver defect since bile acids are elevated.

I want to know is RAW food to high in protein causing stress on the kidneys, liver, bladdder, which i understand are all related together??

Please help!
