If they are still urate, then a low protein, low purine diet is usually recommended. I don't know if the L/D is low purine or not, but I'm guessing no. Also, the more moisture the better. Canned food...

I'd also wonder about the affect of lactulose and if binding ammonia with it could help the bladder issue.

No idea why no supplementation is going on when bile acids are so high and stones are present.

Liver compromised dogs can have treats, but if the food is being used b/c of its low purine content, then the acceptable treat list will vary from the ones that are normally given for liver shunt/mvd.

I agree with LadyMom. Your pup needs an internist. Something is off with the current protocol.
