Kenneth,
First of all welcome to YT! I also have a dog with a liver shunt. We never diagnosed what kind of shunt it was but he cannot have protein either. We tried 5 different Hill's Prescription diets and finally found one that kept crystals from forming in his bladder, U/D. He is doing well on it, just is a little chubby. Your vet should have the correct diet for him. The only thing Tucker gets besides his food is peppermints and chewies. We are very paranoid about him getting too much protein which sends toxins to his brain and cause him to rub his head on the walls because he is irritated, so we haven't tried any other foods. But I am going to look into it and see what I find. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
Oh and about the animal protein and other proteins I am not sure, but would be interested to know. If you find anything please let me know. |
