My dog Bruno's Bile Acid Test came back with a 63 pre test and a 103 post test. The vet said this suggests a liver shunt that they did not notice on the ultra sound. Since he is not showing clinical signs they do not suggest surgery at this time but to keep him on a liver diet (canned Prescription L/D) and have his blood and urine checked every 6 months. They also advised that it is safe to have him neutered.
Does this sound right? Has anyone had a dog neutered that has a liver shunt? Again any information anyone has is very appreciated. |
