Buddy was in great form again this morning before i took him to the vets. after we fed him his normal food he slept again and was very drowsy. This evening i started him on his new food plan- royal canin heptatic food (wet food in a can and dry nuts). He is a completely different dog.......hes hardly slept, he has been chasing people around the house, barking, hiding and then jumping out on people....
I hope this is the beginning of a recovery but I doubt it will work this fast. Vet has told me i should have results by friday as blood is being sent from Ireland to UK.
Thank you for all your kind messages. I hope my furbaby will be ok

So glad to hear he is feeling better! Did your vet say anything about putting him on lactulose? It is a syrup that will help keep the toxins out of his system. In the United States you must have a prescription, I'm not sure about where you live. The vets routinely put the pups on it over here when they are diagnosed with liver shunts. Keep us posted!
