 Update
Toby has finally stabilized for the most part on his new diet (RCH/veg) and meds (Lactulose, Neomycin, Hepato support, Probiotics). Our latest discovery may have been there all along because his mouth/muzzle area has been very sensitive for months? He has pink puffy areas around his whiskers and when he scratches his muzzle he yelps at times? We are working with the vet to determine if this is a separate allergy or a spinoff of the liver shunt/MVD? He is now taking a weak antihistamine for a week to see if it helps. Meanwhile we are in the process of booking an ultrasound to determine the type and extent of the shunt. One day at a time! Thanks all!: |
