Default Looking for experienced advice on liver shunt

Hello ! I have a 9 month old chorkie. He is the cutest pup ! I originally bought him for my dad but it just didn't work out. I took him and honestly didn't want to because we already have another dog. This little guy has so much love for me that I could not help but to fall in love with him in return. He has been diagnosed with liver shunt and the episodes of shivering, lethargy and possible small seizures he has is devastating. The vet gave me a diet to put him on and some medications that have limited the episodes but not to my satisfaction. I have searched for information and have gotten lots of it. I am looking for recipes for meals to feed him and natural remedies such as supplements and vitamins that will help. I have read about many but they don't specify amounts, quantities and so forth. Milk Thistle for example, is suppose to help repair the liver and be really good for this. Can anyone help with recipes for diet and any other source that could help. Surgery is not an option financially and recovery rate is from surgery is only 76-85%. any information is appreciated. Thanks !
