Our shih tzu also has a serious liver problem. When we screened him for neutering they discovered that his liver enzymes were way above normal. He was given meds for a week and then they repeated the tests and they came back good. Now almost a year later he is back to square one again. He's been on meds for a month and we brought him back to be retested. We are now waiting for the results of his tests. He also has a juvenile cataract in one eye and they can't do surgery until they clear up his liver problem. Owning a dog is very expensive and you have to be prepared for anything. |
