A Hunch in the Case of Emma's Liver Numbers

Around Thanksgiving we discovered that Emma had an inflated liver enzyme number on her latest blood panel.  We put her on Denamarin which brought the number down but not enough to get back to normal. We are currently on another round of the Denamarin and I have been doing some research....

I have a hunch - that perhaps what is causing the liver issues is the fact that sneaky little Miss eats the cat food.  I researched and found some interesting facts - like - if you fed your dog a diet that consisted of only cat food s/he could die of liver failure!  Hmmmm  So - needless to say - all cat food has been relocated to non dog friendly spots.  Her neurotic tendencies have come in handy as she does not like the hard wood floors so she won't go in the downstairs bathroom - voila - a new home for the cat food dish.  The kitties and the ferrets don't seem to care.  Upstairs I tucked the kitty food into Nigel's old room  - another place that Emma never goes.

In addition, I purchased a bag of Hepatic dog food.  I thought it couldn't hurt to supplement her diet with dog food specifically geared towards liver health.  Luckily she seems to like it so I have been offering it a couple of times a day in addition to her regular food.

I am hopeful that between the removal of the cat food from the mix, the Denamarin and he Hepatic dog food that when we go for a recheck her numbers will be back in line.  Fingers crossed....
