The tests seem to point to microvascular dysplasia as opposed to a liver shunt. I have also had a urinalysis done to check for stones and everything came back negative.
I want to have Bruno neutered because he has really been acting out in the past month, marking his territory, becoming more aggressive, etc. I would also like to bring him to doggy daycare some times so he can play with other dogs however they do not allow dogs who are not spayed/neutered. The vet seems to think the risk is low and it is okay to have him neutered. However there is a risk since he has a compromised liver. She is planning on using gas instead of an injectable which is less stress on his system and will wear off quicker. I am still terrified that something will happen. I think having him neutered however will be very beneficial however not at the cost of his life. I am so torn right. Does anyone have any advice??? |
