My poor little Gretel started having having little episodes of vomiting after drinking water. Stool test showed no worms and dr. prescribed pepcid. Then I noticed short episodes of little tremors but still vet wasn't concerned. Last week when she went for spay they did bile acids and they were very high--1 before eating and 48 after. Regular blood panel was all normal except platelets were 402. Ultrasound says they think there's a big extrahepatic shunt and they want to do surgery immediately. I'm so afraid for my little girl. Even after surgery dr. said she will need medication and special diet the rest of her life. I'm extra worried because I thought the bile acid would have to be more than 100 for this to be a big shunt. Bladder and urine were fine, no crystals. I'm very confused and the breeder's vet doesn't think 48 is all that high and just wants her to restest in a few weeks. I'm so mad that the breeder won't give me my money until the testing is more conclusive. She's also mad that Gretel got lepto vaccines.
