It is best to at very least get one good size sample but way better is to get several samples. This is abdonimal surgery though... |
thank you so much for telling me that. I tell ya what if it wasn't for YT we would have already done the test. I am still researcing on line for anything i can find also. So scary to even think about that. It's been hard too bc my little girl has been looking for her canned food. She loves the stuff. every time i open the fridge there she is giving me that look like as if she is saying i'm ready. when i close the frig she then has the look like hey...what's goin on? i hate to do it but i need to not give it to her and keep her diet to the same as her first test.
I gave her the Ursodiol last night for the first time and she has not got diarrhea so far.. so good. she did have a tiny amount of the canned Innova when during the time when she had her first bat test over a month ago. It was only used for pills only. so that is what i am reverting back to it now when i give her the demarin. it worked out much better this morning. Lots less food with her pill to hide it.
Sadie still is getting the wellness. only with meds now though. i am too nervous until we get her tested i have backed off some. I give her the homemade treats that i made for snacks about 3 x a day. The treats may actually have 0% protein in them- not for certain though.
Makes me wonder where we would be if we had done the biopsy the vet wanted to do and she found find nothing. so you are saying that several of the liver would have to be tested and pretty much if they go in and grab a tiny piece- it very well could be the wrong piece "if" she did have something going on?
I wont have her teeth cleaned for fear of putting her under with the ct...let alone this if she needs to have it done i don't know what i will do?
