I had my vet run some tests on Maya to try to figure out why her stools are lately soft and with traces of mucus. She also was losing her appetite and sleeping a lot. Everything came back normal except the BAPT the results were
34.7 resting and 45.5 post prandial. The vet diagnosis is possible microvascular dysplasia (mvd) I did a search on the internet and found that it can be treated with diet. Anybody has experience with this? The vet wants to run more tests to rule out liver shunt before changing anything. Other than the soft stools she seems like a normal puppy to me. She's 3pounds at 19 weeks. This makes me so sad any suggestions on what to do will be appreciated.
