He was 6mos when diagnosed and seemed very healthy, gaining weight steadily, I never in a million years would have thought he was sick. I am told that liver shunts are hereditary so if I were you I would ask your vet to perform a bile acid test on him as soon as he is strong enough to do a 12 hour fast. It's about $75 to$85 and well worth the money! Good luck! |
What was the one oddball symptom???
