Welcome to YorkieTalk!
I am sorry to hear that your furbaby has a shunt...My Miko also has a liver shunt, and he is prescribed Royal Canin Veterinary Hepatic dry food, and he actually loves it! Before he was diagnosed, he was a very picky eater, but now he loves his food. Anyway, it's low protein and the protein that it does have comes from soy/vegetables, not animal protein. We are also very picky about what Miko eats, and we don't deviate from his prescription diet very much...Every once in awhile, he might get a cheerios but other than that, he eats just his food, and he doesn't mind at all. He's never been a beggar and he's not interested in people food at all, thank goodness! Also, he has to take his lactulose and denosyl everyday.
