Hi Kass
Great photo! She looks perfect.

I'm sorry to hear that she's having problems with her liver and kidneys, and I'm wondering what your vet suggested in terms of treatment?

Liver problems can be very varied, and have many different causes. Some are caused by infection, or a virus, others by a hereditary or progressive disease/disorder. Kidney issues can be caused by infections, or a result of another illness such as diabetes.

I'm afraid I'm not a vet and there's no way I can tell what is at the root of your dog's problems. Your veterinarian will need to run several tests I would imagine, before he can figure out what treatment is necessary.

I can only suggest that you work with him and make sure that you follow up all the avenues of investigation, so that your pup can be treated correctly.

Best of luck with her, I hope she's back on the road to good health soon.
