My dog has liver disease symptoms. Is an ultrasound worth it?

Question

Dog has slowed down a lot from liver disease. Took blood tests but vet recommended an ultrasound. He hasn't eaten much at all in the past week and had vomit straight last need. Walks slow almost like a limp. 7 year old golden doodle. Was supposed to have ultrasound today but bet was unexpectedly closed. With his coniditon this worse is an ultrasound helpful? Is he too far gone? He's at the point of suffering we consider putting him down, but wonder if its treatable at all. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 7 years and 6 months old | 60 lbs

I think it's worth having an ultrasound to check Russ's liver. Depending on the results of that, it may be treatable, but of course I can't say for certain without seeing him in person. He's only a middle aged dog, and if there is a chance you can treat him, I would follow up on the diagnostics to see for sure. I'm sorry he's so sick!
