Connie, when my Panner went through this they had me feed him strained baby meat, mostly turkey or lamb. Because it is high protein tho, be careful of her kidneys (*ask your vet), also a teaspoon of flat beer has carbs to put on weight. (*again ask your vet!) ; ). Please post a pic of Tigger for me!
The doc told me to use A/D prescription diet, which is specially made for animals recovering from surgeries or illnesses, making sure they get the calories and balance they need, and have something easily digestable and low residue.
He also has me supplementing it with Gatorade, to keep her fluids and electolytes and carbs on the high end. Protein is what causes most of the toxins (it's waste product is ammonia, which is the major toxin that she can't eliminate). Also, her poopy medicine, Lactulose, also binds ammonia. Lactulose doesn't get processes through the liver, but goes straight through her.
We tried milk thistle and some aditional vitamins, but those made her feel worse :(
Here's another pic of her (I don't have any recent ones handy)
She's around 4 in this pic.
