Liver dysfunction...
Anyone ever heard of a better treatment for this than Milkthistle, Lactulose and Baytril? All 3 have proven ineffective. I am now in communication w/ 2 other people with this problem and none of the treatments have worked for any of us.
The problem is usually in older (although one is only 2 yrs) male Veils and is characterized by extreme swelling of the soft parts of the head (cheeks, sides of casque, neck, other facial areas) eventually spreading to the rest of the body. Lack of appetite (in my case) etc. When tested they come up with extremely high liver enzyme counts: normal is 10 or so, the 3 in question were all in the 500 range. None of our vets can tell us what is causing this or how to treat it, mine suggested a tumor/cancer, hepatisis, infection of some kind??
No husbandry issues exist, verified by the respective vets -
In any case, if anyone has heard ANYTHING about this, please let me know.
