I had a furbaby die of liver shunt and that stuff is nothing to mess with.If your baby is acting normal and having a good appetite I wouldnt worry too much about it at this point.IF the latest test came back normal I would say everything is okay unless your baby starts acting strange.Mine started pacing around the room at a constant steady speed not slowing down or stopping for anything.Also he acted like he couldnt see me like temporary blindness when you looked into his eyes its like he wasnt even there he also had profuse slobbering and when you picked him up his legs kept moving.We made an emergency trip to the vet that night and had blood work done his enzymes were elevated so the vet wanted to do a bat on him so we did that the results were positive.H e had him put on perscription dog food to see if we could manage it for a while.It worked for a while we thought he was getting better .Before we could get back for the follow up bat it was too late.He went into one of his pacing slobbering ceasures and never recovered.If your baby has this you will know it.Keep a close eye on behavior if anything changes get to the vet.As far as a 3rd test goes I might just get a second oppenion at another vet I dont thing 3 is necessary you may just have a small baby.Hope everything works out okay
