Cooper's Biopsy

[Martha & Cooper]

His Internal Medicine Vet called this evening and said the Biopsy came back. It was a good news, bad news situation. Good news was, we made the right call by not going ahead with surgery last week. Cooper doesn't have a liver shunt.

Bad News. The biopsy shows he has the other liver disease we talked about. Hepatic Microvascular Dysplasia. Basically, he has many small shunts all over his liver. His blood vessels aren't formed properly. The Vet feels that he still is in a mild to low moderate stage. He wants to try and taper him off two of the three meds and see how he responds. So, I am starting that today and will call him in two weeks for further instructions. We may try to cut the anti-seizure med at that point too.
