I asked the same question in the health and nutrition forum, but here goes again. I'm looking at the medical record of a presumably liver shunt puppy and what caught my eye was the lepto vaccine given at 16 & 20 weeks, just about the time the puppy started having little tremor type episodes. At 26 weeks pre-spay BAT returned 2.2 pre and 52.9 post, ultrasound shows "large blood vessel...appears to connect..." Conclusion: single extrahepatic shunt. You all know the devastating implications for the puppy, its owners, and the breeder, so several of us are very interested in making sure this isn't some backlash from an improperly administered vaccine. Any suggestions out there? Thanks very much.
