Anybody going thru what I'm experiencing now.. Would she live a healthy life without surgery and proper diet if surgery can't fix it? I put her on Hills LD diet.. Thanks
Hi Lolliebear,

I am sorry you are going through this with your little one. I'm going to send a note to Wylie's mom asking her to move your post over to the sick/injured forum so that more people can see your story. We've had multiple members here who have dealt with liver issues and they can be a great source of support and information.

ETA: someone already did it. Fast work!


Good luck and please make sure you keep us posted about how your baby is doing.
