And I also thought most of the time you don't find big problems like that until the puppy dies or is past 2 yrs old. |
Each dog/puppy is different. It all depends on how well the liver is functioning and their diet. A dog can survive even if only 1/4 of the liver is in working order. Pups who start showing symptoms earlier in life have worse problems than the ones who don't show symptoms till later in life or some don't have any symptoms at all.
Many are diagnosed or suspect to LS during spay/neuter due to their inability to process the anesthesia from their bodies.
