 Bubba's Liver shunt
Thank You for all that valuable info. He has a bile acid number of 130 and wakes up in the morning very lethargic with trouble walking. He doesn't
take Nutrical voluntarily any more.
I've just asked my vet for lactulose and an antibiotic. He gave me metronidazole a couple of months ago and I've started him on it again.
My poor Bubba just looks at me a whimpers because he's hungry but doesn't
like anything I put down.
He started coughing a bit today.
I've talked to UTK and Dr. Roy in Palm Beach. UTK charges 1600-1800
and Palm Beach is 2800-3000.
They both use the constrictor, which I'm told is the best way.
Can I manage his condition for a couple of weeks, until I can arrange to
fly to Tennessee? Or do you think I should max out my credit card and get it
done in Fla?
I don't want to do anything stupid and compromise him any more.
Thanks,
