Greyson's acute liver failure

Was about to send prayers and positive thoughts ...but realized Greyson got great news with the blood test results - congrats to all!

That's fantastic news!

I'm really on the fence here.....I keep reading (and living my own) diagnoses of liver problems with some of our pups lately.

While I would never discount a true blood reading, I would definitely question your vets treatment plan. If they immediately go to MRI's and ultrasounds, and talking about liver shunts, then stop them there and do so more homework.

As many already know, Bacca has had bad liver test results for the last coupler of years. But he shows no symptoms and with a controlled diet, his counts are starting to improve. If I had listended to my vet, I would have spent another $1,000+ on more tests, but she finally agreed with me to let us try the diet and supplment approach first. So far, it seems to be working.

All to say, that with so many resources oout there, do you homework before you write the big checks.

Good advice Barb.

I know Barb has had experience with this situation, sounds like good advice.

Hopefully all goes well, your both in my prayers.
