Fatty liver disease can affect various dogs and is commonly seen in small, toy breed dogs like the Toy Fox Terrier. If you’re not familiar with the disease then you should talk to your vet. The primary function of the Toy Fox Terrier’s liver is to produce chemicals necessary for digestion and detoxification of the body. Fatty liver disease occurs when the Fox Terrier becomes ill and stops eating. This causes his body to go into survival mode by sending excessive amounts of fat to the liver to be broken down into energy. A dog’s liver is not meant to handle such large masses of fat and becomes swollen. Not only is the liver unable to process the fat, but it is also unable to handle other functions including processing red blood cells. Your Toy Fox Terrier will require immediate treatment.
