Another really important symptom to mention is lack of appetite and extremely picky...The reason for this is that when liver compromised dogs(before the owners know of the problem) eat regular commercial dog food (which most of it has lamb, beef, venison, or some other kind of red meat), red meat produces toxins in the body that are supposed to be filtered through the liver, but because the liver isn't working properly, the toxins build-up and make them feel sick...Sooooo they don't enjoy eating and will only eat as a necessity to survive. But if they're eating food that is not harmful to them, then they're much better about eating.
