What's not to love about this cutie, Arya?
She's looking healthy here, alongside a photo of her improved blood work. When her liver enzymes started climbing in April, Dr. Maro guided her pet parents to make a change in her food and begin a liver detoxification plan - 6 weeks later, and there's clear evidence it's working!
