Hi Kenneth,
I just want to make sure you know that if your furbaby has a shunt, it might not be good to put meat in her food. Protein is very harmful because protein turns to ammonia and when they have liver problems, the ammonia is not filtered and it goes into their system and reaches their brain and they have seizures..It can be very, very serious. Hopefully, you can find something else to mix in her food that she'll eat that's not meat. There were some good suggestions by other members. Good luck, and if you have any questions, please ask.
Here's a link that will explain portosystemic shunts very well: http://www.malteseonly.com/shunt2.html
I learned a lot from reading material online, and this is one of the best sites full of info on this topic.
