Liver problems & feeding - vet seeks urgent help

thumps_

Wise Old Thumper
I haven't come across many buns with liver problems on RU so I put this on Rabbit chat to get a good viewing.
I know it should really be on health.

I was asked about nutrition for a prairie dog with a portal systemmic shunt & a very small liver using a rabbit model.
I know that some of you have touching faith in my knowledge but it's only in a tiny area. I don't know much about liver issues in rabbits. I'd a couple of ideas but would really appreciate your input, however small you think it is!
The vet is particularly interested in wild foods.
 
Aww Bless you Jane. :love:

Do you, or anyone else know about the general feeding?
I should have explained there's a congenital malformation so that the nutrients which should be taken from the gut straight up to the "chemical factory" in the liver, bypass the liver & go directly into the general circulation.
