[deniselea]

I first joined YT about 2 weeks ago when I was looking for some info on liver diseases. Since then, Luci has been diagnosed with Microvascular Dysplasia. At first this was alarming, but with a low protein diet (Hill's L/D Diet) and daily doses of denosyl I was told she would live a close to normal life span. On Friday I learned that she also has a clotting disorder (basically her blood does not clot and she is at risk of spontaneous hemorrage...external or internal). The vitamin k she was on for 2 weeks did not help with the clotting. Her blood test also showed low levels of fibrinogen (another of the clotting factors). Apparently this is secondary to the MVD. I was told she would be lucky to live another year or two. I am devestated...she is only 2! She is my baby. The vet is awaiting feedback from a specialist, so I hope they are wrong. But the thought of losing my baby so soon is overwhelming.

Has anyone heard of this combination...microvascular dysplasia with a blood clotting disorder? Any advice or experiences you may have had would be helpful.

Thank you.
