Hi and Welcome to YT!

Sorry to hear about your pup... my Tinkerbell has LS too.

Ask your vet... your dog should be taking Lactulose and Denamarin (or a similar product)(ASAP) to help control the symptoms of LS, in addition to the low protein diet. (Best diet is Hill's L/D per Univ of Tenn, Dr Tobias)

As for vaccines... the liver plays a major part in processing vaccines and making them effective... dogs with LS do not process vaccines well at all and basically they will not provide the dog with any immunity... so it's a waste to do and will just give the dog's liver more work to get rid of it.

PS: Denamarin= milk thistle/ SamE
