I have some Hill's wet LP diet, that sounds like a great idea for making treats. I will try it. I feed him the Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 dry. He loves it. I do belong to the yahoo group. You are right, they have some great people on that site with some additonal good information. I find it a bit harder to browse the site, a bit confusing. Not as user friendly as this site or my Yorkie Meetup site. Mickey is asymptomatic, meaning, no symptoms. I merely brought him to the Vet to be neutered and that is blood panel ALT's were high. They did a liver function bile acids test and his levels were high after he ate. Not excessively high though. His ALT's were 369 and his bile acids were 2.2 before he ate and 59 after he ate. They did the portal nuclear scan and found 0.0% shunt function, meaning no shunt. Where do you buy the milk thistle? Yes, I know MVD can be controlled. I would be grateful if that was all it was. I have a thyroid condition and take meds everyday and I plan on living for a long time (smile!)

So for now because Mickey has no symptoms we are going to monitor him, give him the special diet and retest him in three months.

I hope your little one does well too. Thanks for responding and for your help.
