Medical Treatment of Portosystemic Shunts
Here is the anesthetic recommendation.
Masking down and maintaining with Isoflurane is a good way to go.
That is what Ellie's vet does.
No NSAIDs should be given if liver function is in question. K WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND.
Ellie most likely doesn't have LS but may have MVD.
She also had a vaccine reaction.
She has some other health issues also, so it is hard to say how her liver is doing but it seems to be fine. Yes, she did have oral surgery before we knew that she had a liver functioning problem and she did fine. Then she was spayed, had a liver biopsy and a dental in the same day and did fine. OH, WHAT KIND OF REACTION DID SHE HAVE AFTER BEING VACCINATED? IS UR ELLIE ALL UPTO DATE ON VACCINATION NOW? MINE ISNT. I STOPPED GIVING HER VACCINATION AFTER THAT. DOES UR ELLIE HAVE HER RABIES DONE?
Did you test bile acids? YES WE DID 3 BILE ACIDS DONE. THE 3RD ONE WAS THE NORMAL ONE. THATS WHEN SHE WAS ON THE VETRI DMG, FISH OIL, AND HEPPATO SUPP. ALSO SHE WAS ON VEGE FOOD FOR A WHILE AND ABOUT 7 MTHS AGO I SWITCHED HER TO FISH AND POTATOE FOOD. TO ME SHE SEEMS FINE. MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LEAVE HER ALONE AND NOT STIRR ANYTHING UP. IM AFRAID IF I GET ANYTHING DONE, I MIGHT STIRR SOMETHING UP! [/QUOTE]
