It is very likely not a shunt or MVD.
Dogs with MVD are often asymptomatic and it is caught during an optional BAT.
Not all dogs with shunt or MVD will have neurologic symptoms.
The skinniness and being a bit quiet would concern me. The turning the head away to avoid a kiss isn't head pressing. |
I guess I shouldn't say she is "quiet" actually we nicknamed her yappy doodle! By quiet I mean she sometimes seems kind of shy.. I guess I don't know how to describe it.. she LOVES people and is the first of all of mine to run up to a total stranger (usually barking until she gets within about 3 feet) then she sort of wiggles up to them like she is shy.. and if you show her attention, she wants nothing to do with you.. she will walk away.... until you aren't looking... then she is right back..
BUT she does feel skinny to me.. I can feel every rib and her hip bones.. I did ask the vet about it even before the blood test
