Thanks to everyone for your prayers and please keep praying for her. The vet called yesterday and please bear with me as this is all so foreign to me. He said he got back part of her blood test and he says she has something wrong with the liver. He said we needed to put her on liver diet, by science diet, absolutely no vitamin C, low dose anitbiotics and prednisone. He used words like Sam E, unitisol, actigol (i'm sure I'm spelling these wrong). He said he wanted to send her to Springfield to a specialist and have an ultrasound and a biopsy done. So i spent yesterday and this morning read up on stuff and I'm thinking the vet thinks she has a liver shunt? Only he didnt say the word liver shunt. But he described it as a vessel outside her liver that wasn't working properly. He never said anything about a bile acide test or ammonia challenge test- shouldn't she have those done before an ultrasound or biospy? At least that is what I am reading. If anyone can give me any resources to read on this, I would really appreciate it. And food - what food is best? Is the scince diet really the best? My husband and I will figure this out financially and I don't know what to expect. All I know is that I CANNOT lose Evey, not like this. She is my precious girl - I have 4 yorkies and she is my only girl and I am so in love with her. I just need information and like I said, please bear with me and please do not abbreviate things as this is all so new to me. The vet is having to send out to get an antibiotic made for her- I think thats what the utisol is and his tablets come in 250 mg and she only needs 25-50 mg of it. We are going to use the antibiotics and prednisone to stabilize her and of course this new diet until we can gather the money for the ultrasound - but should I request that a bile acid test be done? And I read something about a protein C test? What is that? I am filled with so many questions and am totally lost here. PLEASE HELP WITH ANY KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE. And please pray for me little girl.
