[QUOTE=Deezy;1036938]Does anyone else have a Yorkie that has a mild case of MVD? Since
Mickey's portal scan showed no signs of liver shunt, our internist has
suggested that we monitor Mickey, keep him on the special diet with no
animal proteins and retest his bile acids in three months. Therefore,
they suggest that I don't give Mickey any additional proteins such as
cottage cheese or yogurt. She was not willing to prescribe hepato
support at this time because they do not know if it is necessary at
this point. I was just wondering if anyone else is having a similar
situation.

I just adopted a Yorkie to a wonderful family. He has MVD. Along with his LD canned 3 times a day he is being fed plain pasta,cottage cheese 4% and oatmeal.
The only way to know for sure is if a biopsy is done although if he has stabilized on this kind of diet, why do surgery?

Good luck!
