You really think she has LS or MVD at 7 y/o and she has lived this long with it? I'm not trying to question you...I know you are very intelligent...but I guess I didn't realize that happened ?? Oh, this dog confuses me sooooooo much! Please help!!!!!
LOL...question me all you want.

I am not saying she has MVD and I am not saying she has a shunt.
I can tell you ANYTIME a Yorkie has a seizure (unless they got into something toxic and are reacting) OR ANYTIME a Yorkie's liver enzymes are elevated they NEED to have a bile acid test. That doesn't mean there is a problem but it is very important to check.

She could just have high liver enzymes because something wasn't quite right that day and she could have seized because of epilepsy but there is no reason not to check. MVD can be asymptomatic and there was at least one dog with a shunt who wasn't diagnosed until age 8. Yes, it can happen and if something is wrong, she should at least be supplemented.

What is the kidney problem? Crystals? Bloodwork high or low?
