Hi Crazy4cats,
Good Link!
I think it is important to note that not all diet responsive DCM cases test low in taurine meaning other factors likely in play.
Also somewhat surprising to me was the very high percentage of dogs on raw diets that tested low in taurine. Based on the small sample size it appears that simply feeding a lot of meat/organ doesn’t correlate with normal taurine levels. I guess this shouldn’t be too surprising considering the Wynn study: the cats were fed raw ground rabbit and many developed cardiomyopathy.
Biological systems are complex!
