We've always known Paisley had something wrong with her liver, but it has gotten progressively worse, so we had to have some major tests run lately. After several non-invasive tests came back negative for particular liver diseases, it was necessary to do a liver biopsy. We are pretty sure which disease she has, but the biopsy will also help determine how far along the disease is and how to treat it. So we came back from my parents' house a little early so she could have surgery, and wowzers what a surgery it was!! She had to have a major incision on her tummy (as seen below) and had to spend the night at the vet so she could receive IV pain meds all night. Poor baby hasn't slept alone EVER! Thankfully she did very well in surgery and after, as well. The ladies at the vet said she had everyone "wrapped around her little finger" and they LOVED her (of course... duh)! She was so pitiful when we picked her up- so drugged up and sleepy! She slept all day! She isn't allowed to walk or play for 3 weeks, so that should be interesting since she is already starting to feel better and wants to go outside for a walk. Anyways, we should get the results back next week of her biopsy, and we'll go from there on treatment. I will update you when we know.
