Liver Disease

Liver Disease in dogs is a critical health issue that can significantly impact their quality of life. The liver plays a vital role in detoxifying the blood, producing bile for digestion, and storing nutrients. Understanding how liver disease develops and manifests can help dog owners spot symptoms early, leading to timely veterinary intervention. Common causes include genetic factors, toxins, and infections. Recognizing these factors is essential for prevention and management.

Key symptoms of liver disease may include vomiting, loss of appetite, and jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and gums). Monitoring your dog’s behavior and health can offer insights into their liver function. Regular veterinary check-ups, along with appropriate health monitoring, can catch issues early. If your dog is diagnosed with liver disease, a tailored digestive health plan can support their recovery and enhance their overall well-being.
