Thanks everyone for the heart warming responses. The vet, whom we took Harry to for a second opinion, out of desperation really, but thank God we did, has looked at Harry's original test for s liver disease and said the report did not really concern her.
I guess I will never know whether the original young vet was right or not, as she diagnosed my boy with HE and didn't even EXAMINE him or do any tests. She went purely off symptoms.
@yorkietalkjilly - I did read up on MVD and the vet also agreed that given Harry's complete turnaround, it would not be worth putting him through various biopsies etc, however, should he become ill again (touchwood) that could be looked at.
I must admit, the night of his original diagnosis, I cried into his fur, devastated that we might lose him. He was given ten days to live, and two months on it really is hard to believe that. My boy is running around, eating and playing like there is no tomorrow and I am so grateful that he had a second chance. :-) |
