Hello there! It's perfectly normal to feel concerned when you hear that your pet may have liver damage. The liver is a vital organ responsible for many functions, like filtering toxins from the blood, so any issues there can be quite serious.
Liver damage can happen for various reasons, including infections, exposure to toxins, or certain diseases. Fortunately, the liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, so recovery is possible if we can address the underlying cause.
In terms of at-home care, feeding a balanced, low-protein diet can help reduce the liver's workload. Ensure your pet has plenty of fresh water and try to prevent them from coming into contact with toxins like certain plants or chemicals.
Please keep a close eye on any signs of disease progression such as loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or changes in behavior. These symptoms can suggest that the liver condition is worsening and requires immediate attention.
Given the importance of promptly addressing liver issues, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They’ll be able to look into your pet’s situation more closely and guide you on the best course of action. Let us support you and your pet through this!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
