 Liver Problem
There is something called "Ascites" that is associated with liver problems. This is taken out of a book I have. Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. In liver disease, it is caused by low serum protiens and increased pressure in the veins that supply the liver. A dog with ascites has a swollen or bloated look. Thumping on the abdomem produces a dull flat sound. |
