We had one on Lopid for years that was fine on it, another vote for RC gastrointestinal low fat too

I think the diet need to be under 10%fat, if I recall. Another vote for RC low fat here

I have used low fat diet in combination with EPA + Lopid with some success.This link may be of some help....

Hi Richard,

Diet is the first line treatment for these, ultra low fat, so we tend to use RCW GI low fat. Fish oil can also help.

I woud reserve medical management for those dogs that fail diet. Ursodeoxycholic acid can also help if any signs of cholestasis on bloods?
