Hi There! Welcome to Yorkie Talk and sorry you are dealing with these issues.

I have two MVD dogs, one confirmed via biopsy and the other diagnosed with BAT's only.

This is something you will deal with for the rest of your babies life but it is NOT a death sentence by any means, not even close. Many Yorkies live with this disease their entire life and never show any symptoms.

My dogs could not tolerate Denamarin, so they take other supplements like Milk Thistle to help protect their liver. A specialist I recently saw recommended I get them on Vitamin E as well. I also watch their protein intake and the types of proteins they get. I let them eat chicken, cod, cottage cheese, eggs. Things like beef, lamb, salmon, duck... never touch their lips. I try to keep their protein levels lower then a normal dog but I am much more restrictive with the types of proteins that go into them. Okay, so some say neurotic, but you get the point

There are lots of members here with MVD dogs who can help you out, some I can think of...

Dwerten (she is on a short break at the moment but when she gets back, she is a WEALTH on knowledge on this topic).
