Bile acids tests are easy and inexpensive and will give you some peace of mind.

My little Sofie had her 2nd row of teeth extracted, cleaned, and she was also spayed yesterday. She had a liver profile done as well. The vet said her liver profile was very good. She does not have liver shunt. She is pretty healthy and weighs 2.6 pounds now! She will be 1 year old next month! I questioned the vet about her reaction to the shot earlier in the year and he said you have to extremely careful with little dogs like that. He mentioned that the other vet should not have given her full doses as she is too little. I have found an excellent vet and he knows how fragile these little dogs can be.

I am just so happy that she is healthy!!

Thank you for your help!
