Currently awaiting tru-cut liver biopsies, she is up and down with her appetie. Quite happy generallyen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/140666?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:43:55 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:510003a0-0cf6-44e3-8cbc-7db22bf6c7a3Steph Worsley<p>Is the stone causing any blockage of the bile duct? If it is then I would poss risk surgery (although only you can predict how she will be after surgery knowing her temprament etc) However if it&#39;s not causing an obstruction then I would keep an eye on her and re-scan her in 4-6 weeks to monitor the stone...sooner if she becomes really unwell.</p> <p>Is she on any liver supplements? ie SAMe and UDCA?? they will not hurt for her to have anyway</p> <p>Good luck with her x&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
