| Liver Shunt??? At what age would a pup start showing signs of liver shunt? I have had my new baby 6 days now and she seems normal and well playing, biting, running, barking and getting just worn out from the excitement of a new house. I was just wondering if she had it when she would start exhibiting signs of it. Everything that I have read says that they should be tested at around 6 months of age which I will do but I want her to have the best life ever so if something is wrong we can correct it or do our best to make her life most comfortable.

| I would test after six months if your pup is not showing symptoms. It could do more harm than good to test a small pup at too young an age if no symptoms are present.

| I would test at six months as well..If she shows any symptoms like pickiness, not feeling well after eating, lethargy, dark urine, head pressing, etc. then I would test earlier.
