Yorkshire Terrier's question about Enlarged Liver

Question

My dog has been peeing in his sleep, it started about 3 weeks ago. I took him to the vet and he has an enlarged liver. What could this mean? Does an enlarged liver mean liver disease? Can it go back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. 

An enlarged liver can be a problem, and it can also be an incidental finding. I would suspect that there were other lab work findings that your veterinarian discussed or found with your dog, that may help give a clue as to what is causing the enlarged liver. If your dog does have liver disease, that can be a problem that causes increased urination. Liver disease can be quite complicated to diagnose, unfortunately, and it would be best to discuss this question with your veterinarian, as they have much more information than I do. I hope that everything goes well with your dog and that your veterinarian is able to get to the bottom of what is going on. Do not be afraid to ask your veterinarian more questions, until you understand everything.
