I'm not sure if vomiting is a symptom of Liver Shunt or not...but yorkies are 36 times more likely to have a liver shunt than all other breeds combined...it is way too common in this breed. I highly suggest all yorkies be bile acid tested as a puppy to check for it. |
Agreed.
I would also look at pancreatitis (mild and chronic) f the food is higher fat.
Yes, GI upset is a symptoms of shunt. I would say you would be being extra cautious by testing, but all Yorkies should really be tested anyway. There is too much bad breeding not to.
