I have been bringing my yorkie home at night but i bring him back in the morining to the vet to get his meds. However when i bring him home he doesn't eat or drink or want to do anything.Which i think is strange because he does it at the vet. My parents want to end his suffering because we already spent 1,300 on vet bills. if his liver is failing i do not know what to do but i would like to be their for his last days. we are having another test result Friday to see if anything is improving. thank you for all of your prayers.

do the vets say his liver is failing? this does not make sense to me if he is that sick why is he not staying at the vets

We received the test and his blood work is getting better. So his liver is not failing but could be only damaged. We are bringing him home at night because the vet said there is nothing they can really do. but hope he eats and drinks by himself. so, it's really on him to get better. he had an ultra sound but couldn't find anything. however he still has fluid in his abdomen, because his protein level is still low. so wednesday were going back to the vet to get another blood work test done.
thank you for your support. It means a lot to me and my baby boy.
P.S. He doesn't like the diet he is on. with the bland food. any suggestions???

can you post to us what is high and what is low on lab work? That will help us. What food is he eating? Milk thistle helps the liver and so does juiced zucchini - you can juice the zucchini and put the pulp on food and put juice over the food as well. The liver can rebuild itself so it is a very forgiving organ. What were the pre and post bile acid tests? Natural balance vegetarian food is good for liver compromised dogs as it is really low in protein.

Do you have him in a warm area at night when you bring him home? Hardboiled egg and cottage cheese are more readily digestable forms of protein and less taxing on the liver. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin) is indicative of kidney failure. I would have thought they would have put him on IV fluids to help flush out the kidneys. And for as sick as he is, be in an ICU. Ask the Vet before making any changes. These are my thoughts and I could be wrong. Prayers for you and him ...

How badly was his eye scratched? If he can't see out of it, it might be what is making him dizzy and then through up. Just an idea.

The Jaundice , is actually an indication of something going on with liver functioning, not kidneys. . I hope the vets and professionals can and will find out excatly what is causing your baby to be so ill. The fluid in his abdomen, and his protein levels being very low. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little yorkie .

at 8:00 at night my son passed away. he had liver failure and his health decreased rapidly. we took him to the vet and he said,"that with how disoriented tyson was there was only a matter of time before he slipped into a coma." so we said our good byes and he kissed us all. shortly after he was sleeping peacefully and gone from this world but remaining in our hearts. he was not just a dog but the greatest son a mother and farther could ask for.
