[Mommy of Brandi]

It seems like I'm at the vet every two weeks now......and it's not like when I go there's nothing wrong......it's always some little thing.......

Two weeks ago Saturday, Brandi kept yelping and biting me (she seemed in pain) so off we went to the vet. He xrayed her and he found her bowel & colon were packed.......(sorry if I'm a bit graphic) so he cleaned her out.......and sent me home with a laxitive.....that night she vomited and wouldn't eat or drink......she continued to vomit......and Sunday morning the same thing.....so back to the vet. Well she was dehydrated, and her sugar was quite low.......so he gave her fluids did a blood chemistry and wbc & cbc........and sent me home with nutra-cal......and she started feeling better........and seemed to come back to normal........

I called a week ago Friday for her blood results......and the vet got on the phone.......he said "I don't want you to worry......I don't believe it's anything......I think she had a virus......but I want to redo the blood....." well as he talked about the numbers I was like "are you thinking liver shunt" he said yes.......but I just think she has a virus......lets retest her next week.......well TODAY was next week........and I took her in and I will have the results tomorrow

Needless to say......I am a basket case now.......I'm trying to think positive.....but I'm worried........Brandi's mom & dad are "pet store" dogs.....they were purchased before any of us knew much about yorkies.....or puppy mills......there are 3 dogs from their first litter.........and two from the litter Brandi came from........and so far none of them have shown signs of liver shunt.....or any other problems thank god.....

Thanks for letting me vent......just say your prayers for Brandi please........I know how strong the YT Power of Prayer is........
