Please join the Liver Shunt Support Group, on Yahoo. It is a wonderful group with great information and resources for liver issues. They can help you with diagnostic choices as well medical management. The other food you could try is Royal Canin L/S. Our Yorkie recently had LS surgery and I found knowledge is so important in dealing with this. Be very careful with dog treats...less than 8 percent protein. Bile Acid Tests can suggest a liver problem, a sonogram may show a Liver Shunt...sometimes other tests are needed for a diagnosis to be made. Research and find a practice that deals with LS and MVD. Good luck!
