A dog with liver disease may show very little signs but often they can be due and go off food. Sometimes they are sick and lose weight. In later stages the dogs gums and eyes can look yellow. Vets can run bloods to check liver function and perform ultrasound scans to look at the size and shape of the liver.

Liver disease can be tested through routine chemistry panels, an ultrasound of his abdomen, or specialized tests such as bile acids. Signs of liver disease include vomiting, diarrhea, yellowing of the eyes/skin, distended belly and/or decreased appetite.
