in our liver stories. So you know by now that Fiona and Blaze have liver disease and are both being treated with 2 medications AND are doing great! Zappa was tested as well, has one level that is off, but no need for medication. Recheck in 3 months.
And then there is Chance...he too was tested and has liver disease, yet he is only on one medication and for the most part is doing good. Until we discovered his abdomen was full of fluid. He's lost 7 pounds of fluid as of this post in just 6 days.
The vet had tried to take x-rays to see where all this fluid is coming from, but there was so much of it that she couldn't see anything. She was able to rule out congenital heart failure as his heart and lungs were clear.
So, our vet put him on medication to flush out the fluid and so far so good. Hopefully we will be able to get a clear x-ray to find out what is going on with our boy.
Stay Tuned as the mystery of Chance continues...
Does the vet know what is causing the liver disease in all of them?
ReplyDeleteIt is genetic. They are all siblings from our litter.
