We will have his Bile Acid Test results tomorrow. Thank you for the useful information, now I will actually know what the number will indicate when I get it.
He has had no symptoms that I have noticed. I do not know what the actual BUN was I believe the vet said it was higher then normal?
Besides a liver shunt and the microvascular dysplasia what other conditions could this be?
The vet also mentioned that his liver looked small but this could be normal for him I guess meaning he is a small dog? He is just under 4 lbs.
I am picking him up in a little while and I am told they will start him right away on a liver diet. He has had constant diarrhea since his visit to the vet on Monday which I really think has to do with the stress of the vet visit. The vet said to mix some white rice in with the new food. Any other tips?
Thank you both for your responses I really appreciate it! |
