Well. My vet did not want to change her food yet because,according to him, she is a puppy and needs the protein. I had been weaning her off her Purina Puppy Chow (sent by breeder) onto TOTW. After incident, checked ingredients and removed TOTW - VERY HIGH PROTEIN food.
Now, just Purina (yes its crap) until we re-test 2 weeks.
Bought some limited ingredient Wellness for my Westie and saw that it had only 20% protein (less than the Puppy Chow at 27%). So have been adding a few Wellness kibbles to her food to try and transition.
She is doing well - no other symptoms - other than I would say a very docile dog. Of course, my Westie is the Alpha and she usually pesters him a good bit and loves to get him to play - but rarely barks, etc. Everyone says the best behaved dog. Wonder if some of that is liver symptoms when we think she is just being sweet and quiet??
Must get back to work for a few. I do think you are right. MVD and feed and supplement accordingly. That's what my gut says. We'll see after re-test. Problem will be convincing my vet who wants to send her somewhere for scintography before he spays. Now he's very nervous about the spay. Holding off on that.
Thanks!
