I have a 2 year old Lhasa Appso, Reggie. He is a joy and we love him. We found out approx 8 mths ago that he (likely)has Microvascular Dysplasia due to the results of his liver tests. He has absolutely no appetite for anything. I have tried human food, dog dried and wet food, tripe, liver, cottage cheese, well anything that I can to see if he will eat. He will manage to eat maybe 1/8th of a cup of dried Science Diet with some crumbled dehydrated liver treats over it but that is it.....I am so frustrated as no one here (in Nova Scotia) seems to have any suggestions for me. I have tried appetite stimulants however my vet does not recommend that he stay on this for very long. I would so appreciate some help on this as we want to give our little guy the best life that we can for the time that he has with us.

Hi Lisa, Wow - I don't know how I can help - ???
I guess I would give him anything that he will eat at this point.
As far as appetite stimulants , this kid doesn't have much time here on EARTH, tell them VET to order your an RX of some stimulants, again.
What harm could it do, right????
Do you want a few dog food recipes?
