| Need Opinions To Test Or Not To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK i feel i am in a dilema i have my puppies scheduled to be shunt tested ok now her is my problem i have held off giving puppy shot's and they are now 11 .5 week's old AND I HELD OFF ON SHOT TO GET A BETTER RESULT THAT THE SHOT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN after reading dr center's recommendation of this Serum Bile Acids are also helpful in the making a more definitive overall picture in diagnosing the presence of a Liver Shunt and is usually taken when the blood work is indicative there is a shunt present. It is possible to test the Bile Acids in young puppies. However, unless the puppy is showing apparent signs of PSS a Bile Acid Test can throw false readings. It is recommended an apparently healthy puppy be a minimum of two pounds and 6 to 9 months old to test the Bile Acids accurately. what do you do we have parvo going around in our area and i am scared to death and need to get there shot's started one of the pup's is under 2 pounds and the other is just over 2 but my problem is that they said 6 to 9 months is best i want to get my shots started that you can get false readings on a younger pup so what do you do if all these people want a 12 to 16 week old puppies and want the breeder to do a test how do you win and which way do you go please advise |

| Hey, stick this in "health & diet" section. I think there are different people that cruise through these sections. Might get a more comprehensive answer over there. Maybe even in the "sick" section. Good luck with finding an answer. Our babies are so precious to us we only want to do what is best for them. Hugs.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Here's admin page: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/members/admin.html you can PM them, and ask them to put this in the proper forum. I was thinking maybe even breeders forum, they know a lot more about this sort of thing. Good luck to you.

| Don't give them the Lepto shot. It has been known to cause liver problems.

| Parvo needs to be started young 5-7 weeks. You don't want your puppies getting it and you could bring it in on your shoes. What you posted was for bile acid testing, not the vaccinations |
