Obviously gout is different than LS, but since purines are what makes my baby sick, it certainly can't hurt to know what has a lot and what doesn't. I hope it helps someone! I can't figure out why it has so many types of brains on the list - ew! I know I was happy to see Brodie's favorite treat, pear, was very low 
This is the site with the list: Foods High in Uric Acid |
Glad he is doing better.
We had a member: YorkieLuv
She hasn't been on in a while, but perhaps you can go back and search her old posts (2005-2007 range). Her Yorkie had BATs in the 300 range, but he had MVD - he was producing crazy amounts of stones, and I believe they were Urate. She started to juice fresh zucchini daily and added this to his food (can't remember how much, maybe a teaspoon or tablespoon), but it had to be fresh, and every day. Anyway, after some time, he stopped producing the stones, but I believe she had to continue with the juiced zucchini.
Also, that group I posted DogLiverDisease on yahoo. You should really join. They follow Dr. Center's protocol and follow a strict Medical Management for Liver Shunt dogs (with or without surgery). They have lots of good advice and suggestions, and I really think you and Brody would benefit!
