Dear Linda, I am SOOO happy that your little Emily isn't suffering from LS. I'm new to this forum and I am overwhelmed with all the caring people on YT. Can I ask you a question? I have also gone the same route with my Zoe. She has never had a seizure or any clinical signs but one day she had a couple of "accidents" on my rug... My vet told me I should have her urine tested for a urinary tract infection. She saw some urate cristals indicative of liver shunts (I had a liver shunt Yorkie 11 years ago but kew very little about it then). The vet tested Zoe's Acid Bile and she was (0 pre-prandial) and (82 post-prandial). We had her have an ultrasound and the specialist found that she didn't have a Liver Shunt and her liver was normal in size. So they told me it was probably Mycrovascular Displasia... I had Zoe's teeth cleaned last week and my vet suggested I have another Bile acid test done. The results baffled me... She had 19 before meal (normal <3) and 9 after meal (normal <10). My vet still insisted Zoe has a liver problem. What were Emily's Acid Bile results from her last test? I am kinda hoping my baby isn't suffering from liver problems either... Sorry Linda for the long post, I am desperately trying to find answers...
