Ok I am going to just put this out here for any thoughts or other considerations that I might be missing. We went to the vet today after what was a sleepless night, Copper was figity and I thought that maybe he was waking up throughout the night because "Daddy" was working on a power outage. This morning I noticed him jerk really good with his back leggs while laying down, honestly I thought that it could have been anything,an itch of
somesort. soI get home and I notice that he does the jerky thing again almost like a tick. I think that he is having mild siezures.
We ran a full blood pannel today and are going back in again to do more testing, bile acid etc. He has always been really mellow. He also makes me work for every bite of food that he eats. I am finding out that all of these things that I though were just how he was are aslo signs of liver shunt
But honestly he seems like he is completely healthy other than this ticking thing that has come up, he is happy and not acting sick. What I wonder is if this is liver shunt he more than likely has always had it, he is only a year old. And if it is I need to let his breeder know, this is not an easy call to make, I need to call her anyway but this is not the terms I was hoping for. There are a few other possibilities but I am soooo worried for him.
They just basically drew his blood and sent us home. I hate waiting games. And it seems like everytime he goes to relax that he starts jerking or twitching. I am just sick with worry any honestly don't know where else to turn. Thank you for listening.
