To Test Or Not To OK i feel i am in a dilema
i have my puppies scheduled to be shunt tested ok now her is my problem i have held off giving puppy shot's and they are now 11 .5 week's old
after reading dr center's recommendation of this
Serum Bile Acids are also helpful in the making a more definitive overall picture in diagnosing the presence of a Liver Shunt and is usually taken when the blood work is indicative there is a shunt present. It is possible to test the Bile Acids in young puppies. However, unless the puppy is showing apparent signs of PSS a Bile Acid Test can throw false readings. It is recommended an apparently healthy puppy be a minimum of two pounds and 6 to 9 months old to test the Bile Acids accurately.
what do you do we have parvo going around in our area and i am scared to death and need to get there shot's started
one of the pup's is under 2 pounds and the other is just over 2 but my problem is that they said 6 to 9 months is best i want to get my shots started
that you can get false readings on a younger pup
so what do you do if all these people want a 12 to 16 week old puppies and want the breeder to do a test how do you win and which way do you go
please advise |
