Scout, a 7-month-old female miniature Dachshund from Alaska, was born with incorrect blood vessel connections leading to her liver. Called an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), this condition results in attachments between many veins and arteries preventing appropriate blood flow to an organ or organs. This condition can be fatal as it often progresses to organ failure and the development of subsequent systemic issues. That was the case with Scout, as the AVM wasn’t allowing proper blood flow to her liver, altering liver growth and preventing filtering/cleaning of her blood. Only a handful of facilities in the country can treat this rare condition, so pet owners usually must go to great lengths to find a specialist with experience correcting AVMs. Dr. Bill Culp and the UC Davis team have been successfully treating the condition for 15 years.
