My Vet is not positive that it is mild MVD, that is what I think. I did not do a biopsy. Our plan of action for now is to monitor Mickey for three months and then do the Bile Acid Test again. Until then, he is on the Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14 dry food. No other supplements or prescriptions. Mickey is asymptomatic. The only reason we knew anything was up was because he went in to be neutered and his ALT's were 369. When they did the Bile Acid Liver Function test it was 2.2 fasting and 59 after eating.
He shows no symptoms at all. So, that is why the internist suggested we do nothing for 3 months and then test again. Prior to this, he was eating the Royal Canin food for Yorkshire Terriers.
I guess we have to all do what we think is right for our beloved Yorkie and our family. All of this advice and information is fabulous and it helps a lot. But, at the end of the day, we do what's best for us.
Thank you,
