After than we saw brown liquid diarrhea and vomitting of undigested food which convinced us to bring her in.
The biopsy they were doing was 1 of 3 things I guess, an exploratory abdominal surgery, a liver biopsy and an intestinal biopsy. The Vet did say though that the intestinal disease is the significant cause of her symptoms. |
yeah no way would i open her up for something like this and those bats are clearly mvd most likely and i would never biopsy a dog to say YEP it has mvd no way to invasive for no reason in my opinion and i doubt this is another form of liver disease as alt would have been most likely off as well - Now endoscopy with a biopsy of intestines ok but no way liver biopsy - I think you have your answers though as that blood work nailed it down perfectly - read the links i sent you as it spells it out perfectly matching her blood work. This is going to be treated mostly by a proper diet of which i honestly do not think the vets will be able to nail that down properly for you like a nutritionist will be able to - ucdavis is the vet school for animal nutrition. I know several ple dogs that have been treated by susan davis and are doing very well right now so seeing that i have to recommend her highly in this case.
