liver disease/hepatitis in dogs

Post by v.. » Sat, 02 Oct 1999 04:00:00



    my dog was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis. I'm kind of desperate for
    information or other personal experiences. The vet pretty much says that
    aside from keeping her (cairn terrier) on her special diet that there
    really isn't anything more that can be done. I'm also concerned with
    "ascites" (sp?) fluid retention. How can you tell if they are retaining
    fluid or just putting on a pound or two? I'v already checked whatever I
    could find on the internet but seem to keep winding up in the same places.
    Any info or interesting/informative sights would be greatly appreciated.

                                        thanks, (in advance!)
