we switched him back to ID for these last three months and hes kept that down for the most part. However it seems like if he gets even the smallest crumb off the floor he pukes up his entire stomach.

The only reason thyroid was mentioned is beacuse his thyroid levels have been high in all of the blood work samples weve gotten back, but the vet said that can be because hes sick.

can someone elaborate on MVD?
thyroid high is hyperthyroid -hmmm did they do a 6 panel thyroid and i would recommend if so sending blood work to dr jean dodds at www.hemopet.com for a review - she is an expert on thyroid and blood work

are you sure it was not L/D instead of I/D and did they rule out pancreatitis with a cpli test? I/D has pork in it which is high in protein so that is not the ideal food for a liver shunt dog

here is info on thyroid
