How To Treat Liver Disease In Dogs | Liver Failure In Dogs | Dogtor Pete

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and provides about 1 500 critical biomechanical functions.

It is, therefore, a very important multi-purpose organ that plays a central role in the body and because of this it is susceptible to many different problems that can threaten the health and wellbeing of your dog, so it is really important to be aware of the signs, causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention methods of liver disease in dogs, which I will discuss in this video, in order to keep your pet in optimal health.

Now the prognosis really depends on the severity of the disease and whether or not the underlying cause can be treated and eliminated. The prognosis can be excellent if the cause can be eradicated before long-term damage occurs, as the liver is the only visceral organ known to regenerate.

Chronic or severe liver disease, unfortunately, carries a much worse prognosis, and treatment is therefore aimed to manage the progression of the disease and minimizing the symptoms.

So remember, when you notice any of these signs in your dog, take him to the vet as soon as possible, as early intervention and treatment is one of the key factors in treating liver disease and preventing serious signs.
