Some foods produce high amounts of ammonia and some liver compromised dogs can't handle these foods. Red meat is one of them. Non-meat protein is a good choice. Depending on the individual dog, soy or cottage may work. Some also do well on eggs and fish. So the red meat could be negatively affecting him.
Agreed....Dr Susan Centers and Dr Tobias both being at the forefront of LS research....

I see you live in Queens, I would suppose Cornell would be the closest option for you.
