we're trying the medication for a couple days- if he keeps getting worse, then we're taking him back- it sounds as though they have experience with liver shunts and they suspect it's a single large vessel based on how bad he's getting in such a short period of time. He's awake and alert right now, but earlier he couldn't even stand up to relieve himself because he kept falling over every time he tried to squat...
we just need some time to process this... if they're right about what it is, then he's going to need surgery
In the meantime, we're calling our vet to see about getting him on l/d instead of i/d |
