My poor Flopsy has been to the vets this evening to see JC. I was expecting he would be needing a dental however J said that his teeth are in quite good condition considering his last dental was in December (4 months ago) Flopsy has lost quite a bit of weight again and he's just skin and bones, he weighs 1.66kg , he was 1.8kg just 4 weeks ago so had lost about 200g. As well as this his incontinence is getting worse and a lot of the time his feet are wet with urine from where he'll sit in the run and wet hisself. 
Flopsy last had bloods taken in December when he had his last dental and the results were that his kidney disease was stable however his liver enzyme levels were elavated so J advised me to put Flopsy on milk thistle extract which I give to him every day. We didn't know whether the liver damage was permanent or what exactly it was as J didn't want to opt for a biopsy in his condition then. It would be far too much for Flopsy.
As well as Flopsy's incontinence , his fecal output isn't the best. He produces tiny poos as well as good but recently the tiny ones have been increasing. I just put it down to all the meds/supplements he's on but I've looked online and this can be a symptom of quite serious liver issues.
All we can do is await the blood results , they will be back Wednesday night however J said he'll contact us on Thursday morning. I'm just hoping whatever the outcome , there's another drug we can put Flopsy on. I'm not ready to say goodbye to him but I do not want him to suffer either.
Does anyone have any experience with liver disease, failure or any other related liver disease etc?
