Older yorkie and liver problems…anyone else?

older yorkie and liver problemsanyone

Sydney silka Hendon

As my little Sydney gets older(15), she has had a couple of serious episodes where she ended up at the vet with high liver enzymes and a infectious looking liver.

Is this common and do I just need to carefully watch her diet.
My vet placed her on L/D by presciption diet. Can anyone give me some advice?

    High liver enzymes

    My Yorkie is nine and has had this problem since she was a pup. We see a holistic vet who has had her on Milk Thistle…three drops a day…which keeps the count under control.

    liver issue in yorkies

    our yorkie had a liver shunt issue! But with the lactulose – and neamyicin and proper diet she did well. We used a special canned food and we found later that if we took some of it backed it they made wonderful treat —- she loved those. other wise her diet was pretty bland. Also, if you go to get her spayed—- have them do blood work and check her numbers ( the vet will know) we actually lost our yorkie after having her spayed due to blood clotting issues. Otherwise, she was a great dog! But try the treats—- She loved those!!!! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about your dogs condition.
