Also, not sure what the low protein food is, it might be still to high in protein OR he could be eating too much of it at one time. LS or MVD dogs that are really bad, need to be feed small amounts of low protein food approx. 5 to 6 times a day, this way it is not a protein overload on the liver...
The Scintigraphy should shed some insight  |
I agree. Is the regular vet diong this , or specialist? as at this point I don't feel comfortable with this vet . I don't understand what's taking this vet so long to get on the rite track and get the ball rollin. This baby is very sick, how long does vet think he has to play games.
