Confused Liver Shunts & Diet; Muffy is a picky eater

Muffy was diagnosed with a Liver Shunt a couple months ago. To treat it, we were to let her have a surgery to possibly fix it or use the Science Diet LD (liver disease) food. We chose to do the diet treatment because she shows no symptoms other than being a little small, but she is 4 lb. 5 oz. so she is not dangerously small. She is very active and happy.

The problem is she does not eat much at all! We keep her food down all day as advised by our vet since she does not eat much. At times she will go and eat a few pieces then run back and play. I just feel like she should be eating more. She almost never eats her daily allowance unless I hand feed her each piece which I have done several times because I was desperate for her to eat her food.

Do any of y'all have a problem similar to this with your yorkie? I could use some advice.

Thanks!
