If she has hepatic microvascular dysplasia(tiny shunts throughout the liver), then there is no surgery to fix it and she will need to be maintained on a certain kind of diet, supplements, and lactulose.
There are different severities of MVD/HMD, but my opinion is to keep them on supplements and on a diet with the "right" kind of protein to get the best outcome and to prevent the liver from being damaged. |
I'm just answering your questions in this post...I just want to clarify that I'm not telling you that your baby has this, I'm just telling you what each of them means and their "fixes."
I do pray that your baby is okay. If your vet feels that she's exhibiting certain signs, then make sure you follow his lead on what testing needs to be done.
