This is a subject I'm very interested in. Though I think there may well be some correlation between increased vaccination and CPSS, I think there also is a good bit of acquired liver disease resembling CPSS. I think in some vet clinics any liver symptoms are automatically labeled PSS as a catchall. I also think there are many generations of Yorkies out there with "elevated" bile acids that are living normal lives completely free of liver disease symptoms, so higher bile numbers are just plain normal for them. Many of these vets won't leave them alone, however, because they feel it is their duty to perform surgery on every dog showing up with BATs over 30. Finally, I do think we are poisoning our Yorkies and causing them to develop MVD with too many vaccines and pills and now this Frontline stuff that gets absorbed through the skin. I have a house full of healthy Yorkies that get none but the legally required rabies vaccine. Their kibble is carefully selected and supplemented with fresh meats I buy at the market and serve raw. No health issues whatsoever at my house!!!
