Thanks Kathy you explained this much better than i ever could, My Micah also has a very small liver...He has mostly good days now but some when he is not as good, he is on low protein food Hills/LD and meds

If yours is put on this food buy a big bag there its about $20. cheaper than i pay
at the vets office here and 1 bag will last a very long time...praying fr good results
