Gizmo was almost a year old when a vet suggested I have the test done becasue his liver looked small on an X ray, but his regular vet told me that his symptoms were not severe enough to be a liver shunt baby. His symptoms were shaking, staggering, picky eater, very dry and flaky skin, and failure to gain weight. He had no head pressing or seizures as a puppy. He had two years with few episodes of shaking and staggering and I had learned how to get him through those episodes. He did gain some weight and was up to 5lbs. I thought he was over these puppy problems and would be fine, but in November he started getting sick again, but this time he couldnt recover. I agree with the previous posts. I would get her on a L/S diet (just in case) and have her tested ASAP. I hope everything works out for you and your precious little girl. |
