Lilly has no clinical symptoms besides being a little smaller than thought- at about 4 pounds. Her fasting level was 33.7 and post meal was 68.4. The vet says this could be suggestive of a shunt. He said there are two options- Medically manage with drugs and diet which could eventually catch up with her or referral to another vet hospital to further go extensive testing. I feel just lost, Lilly is my cuddle bug! Any suggestions or share of simular experiences would help!
I found a great deal of information on livershunt.net , a Yahoo group that I was referred to from another YT member. My Sasha is 2yrs old and was always healthy but suddenly started having seizures. She had her BAT test done this week.....elevated at 69 & 111. We are praying that she can be medically managed, but further testing is necessary. You will find alot of support here and on the livershunt site. Good luck to you and your little Lilly.
