| I'm just seeing this. I don't have any input on MVD, just wanted to wish you and your little one well. Sorry that you are having to deal with all of this. Hugs.

I actually purchased it for my Westie but think that the protein level might be appropriate for her as well. | |

| if no symptoms you can give it a shot but i personally prefer a more highly digestible protein like fish for mvd. Duck is a fatty protein what is fat content on this ? Brown rice is harder for dogs to digest even though it is a better grain. Again if no symptoms as long as below 22% you can give it a shot if it is what you are comfortable with |

Now I am stuck again, my vet spoke with the specialist I had been seeing and she still thinks we should do the biopsy. I have mine on duck and sweet potato right now, I didnt know that about the fatty protein, I was only looking at the protein levels... thank you for that info dwerten, I will be looking for another food. | |

| FYI: I had to put my LS dog on Hill's Prescription L/D Dry recently, but I was shocked: 14.5% Protein, 20.5% fat (from Pork) First ingredients as listed on bag: Brewers rice, Pork fat, dried egg product, soybean meal... The bad ethyoxine(sp) preservative has been removed. The canned L/D 4.5% protein, 6.0% fat Ingredients:Water, Rice, Egg Product, Chicken Fat, Soybean meal. (I don't have the formula to figure % based on dry weight matter) My pup loves both foods, is putting on a bit of weight, and LS symptoms on the rapid decline.

| What does the specialist intend to learn from the liver biopsy? Is something other than MVD suspect?

Roxy was eating RAW during her first BAT which was Pre: 43 and Post: 100.9 Now that she is on a special low but quaility protein and liver aiding supplements, her Pre has come down to below normal, and her Post is in the 60 to 80 range | |
