I am sorry to hear Saibis news. I strongly recommend you discuss this case with a veterinary oncologist (cancer specialist) as soon as possible in order to explore all potential options for treatment. A liver support supplement such as hills l/d or royal canin hepatic food plus zentonil may help support the remaining liver to function as well as possible in the meantime.
