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? |
Okay...will check into when she can get bile acid tested then.
I am a horrible mother, I know, but I don't even know what was wrong with the kidneys? I just did as they said and because they said it wasn't that bad to just have her tested again, which she just did today. So how about this, when I find out the info from the test (couple days they'll call) I'll PM you and let you know so you can help me out. PLEASE?????
