| I'm devastated Royce showed lack of appetite since last week I took him to the vet he did blood work and he called me back today because his liver enzyme is slightly high and he wants to do a bile acid test ...I know that means liver shunt if the acid test is positive ....is liver shunt fatal ? I know if it's external it ca be operated on but in case it's internal does it mean that my Royce will die ....i have been crying since I received the vet's call please did anyone go through this ? What does it mean ? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali has an internal liver shunt and is doing ok. It depens on the type and severity. Most can do well with surgery or medicine and diet. Good luck!! I will pray for him.

| Don't get upset over this. Calm down and wait till the bile acid test is done. It probably just means a change in diet. Take it one day at a time. |

| Oh, I am so sorry to hear of your baby's troubles! I can sympathize a bit as we will probably have to have her tested for liver shunt as well. I've discussed it with our vet. I will say a prayer for your Royce and for you for a manageable solution. |
