I'm sorry to hear your baby has MVD. Our dog Daisy was diagnosed with MVD at age 6 -- our vet just did not know what was wrong with her all those years so you are lucky to find out early in your baby's life. Our Daisy went on the Hill's L/D diet initially, along with milk thistle (we use the product Marin). She is now on a home cooked diet formulated just for her as her situation is complicated by severe allergies and IBD.
Daisy does great and is well managed medically. Lots of dogs with MVD do great on the right diet.
I just wanted to also tell you that Daisy's BAT and overall liver functioning have IMPROVED consistently since her diagnosis. So it is possible!
I wish you good luck!
