Why don't you ask your vet about the Hill's L/D diet and the use of Marin and Denosyl for Sadie? She is high but at her age, I can't help but wonder if she has a situation like my Daisy since she is around the same age. Only your vet can make the diagnosis but I do want to share more with you about Daisy. We put Daisy on the Hill's L/D and marin and retested her and her postprandial # went from 107 to 33. I'm not sure about wellness but dogs with shunting need certain types of protein, not just low protein. The amino acid profiles of the proteins matter and Hill's L/D is usually the best option for most liver shunt dogs.
I also think you should consider a consultation with a board certified internist to discuss Sadie's case rather than your general vet but at the very least ask about Hill's L/D diet and Marin. I would not use denamarin (combines marin and denosyl) but some do. I prefer the separate products.
I hope this helps and feel free to share my Daisy's case with your vet if needed as not all vets are really well versed in liver shunt. I know my general vet was not, and I had to move on to a specialist to get the right answers I was seeking for Daisy.
