Are Vizsla prone to liver disease?

No, Vizslas are not specifically prone to liver disease. However, like all dogs, they can develop liver issues due to various factors such as genetics, infections, toxins, or other underlying health conditions.

Common liver conditions that may affect Vizslas (and dogs in general) include hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), liver shunts (congenital abnormalities affecting blood flow through the liver), and liver tumors. Symptoms of liver disease in dogs can include lethargy, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), vomiting, diarrhea, and changes in appetite or weight.

If a Vizsla shows signs of liver disease, prompt veterinary attention is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Early detection and management can help improve outcomes and maintain the dog’s quality of life.
