I checked with my vet and she agreed, but when I joined the LS Group on Yahoo I was told that he should still be eating a low protien diet like Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 so that he doesn't have anymore attacks/complications later in life. Now I'm torn and don't know what direction to go... I'm still feeding him Wellness, but does anyone have any suggestions/opinions/experiance with liver shunt babies. If you have a liver shunt baby, what have you been feeding them since their surgery???
I appreciate the help.  |
My Teddi had her surgery 2 1/2 years ago and she has been eating RC Hepatic food ever since. Dr. Tobias (the leading authority and Doctor who invented the Ameroid Constrictor) recommends you still feed them a low protein diet even though they are completely fixed so I figure why take chances.
