Jennifer Schwartz. She just moved to Fresh Pond Animal Hospital in Belmont from a vet in Salem but she's incredible. She's treated our dog holistically and we now drive from Beverly to see her.

Dr. Kate at Boston Veterinary Clinic in Boston unfortunately. She helped greatly with my girl who had hemangiosarcoma, with her liver function. She specializes in acupunture and Chinese herbs. http://bostonveterinary.com/our-veterinary-practice/our-veterinarians/

Therapy for dogs with severe hypoaminoacidemia (commonly seen with dogs with hepatic diseases) is nutritional support to include intravenous amino acid supplementation. The diet should consist of a good quality protein diet. Fatty acid, zinc and niacin supplementations have been utilized with some success. IV amino acid supplementation regimens vary from 250–500 ml IV of an 8–10% amino acid supplement given daily until dermatologic signs improve, to these doses given weekly for an extended period of time. IV amino acid supplements are re-administered in many patients when dermatologic signs return. Antibiotics and/or antifungal agents should be used to treat secondary skin infections. Hydrotherapy and shampoo therapy can help remove crusts and lessen the pruritus and pain that may be present. Glucocorticoid therapy has been associated with improvement in cutaneous signs, but should be used with caution as it may worsen the underlying metabolic disease. I can try and get the reference information.
