Blood tests to assess liver enzyme levels and overall organ function

Abdominal ultrasound or X-rays to evaluate liver structure and detect abnormalities

Biopsy or specialized testing for chronic or severe cases
These diagnostic tools help us determine the type and severity of liver disease and guide a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment & Management of Liver Disease
Treatment for liver disease in pets depends on the underlying cause and may include prescription diets to support liver function, medications to manage inflammation, infection, or metabolic imbalances, and fluid therapy to address dehydration or aid in toxin removal. Regular monitoring and follow-up testing allow our veterinary team to track progress and adjust treatment as needed. With early intervention and careful management, many pets with liver disease can maintain a good quality of life and continue to stay healthy and active.
