Has you look into the ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diet® canine HEPATIC LS™ 14
HEPATIC LS | Royal Canin Veterinary Diet

Here's another thought, did you have to give her any shots/vaccines to board her? That could have set off the HE too
Gosh, I didn't know that the K/D could cause the HE symptoms - I guess I should think about changing her to the RC LS diet - no on the shots; she is 3 yrs and our vet decided not to give her her shots this year due to all the liver issues; so luckily I don't have to worry about that - thank you for the thoughts on her diet.
