It seems the general consensus from everyone on here is MVD?

Can my dog live a long normal life with MVD?
Should I go to VA Tech? Should Scout continue taking the Anti Biotic? Should he be taking Denosyl or Denestra or some Milk Thistle tablet?

Thanks for all the help.
I am curious to know the Protein C test results.

If he has MVD, yes he can live a normal life. The Metro does help with the bacteria in his in his GI track, but with the addition of Lactulose to help rid the toxins and bacteria thru waste, is really the combo often seen.

The supplements I use are Vetri DMG and Hepato Support.

Hepatosupport (capsules)- contains milk thistle and B vitamins (substitute for Marin)

VetriDMG liquid (substitute for Denosyl)

OR

Denamarin (Denosyl and Marin , but without the yeast and liver) ~ BUT, this has to be given as the whole tablet (can't be broken) and has to be given on an empty stomach. This sometimes is difficult to administer and can cause an upset tummy.
