My Yorkie had a blood work done, indicating liver numbers high. Had a bile acid test done, had a ultrasound done by a board certified radiologist. DX was a liver shunt. 2/3/09 she had her surgery.
Ultrasound is better than an x-ray. Find a board certified radiologist to do an ultrasound.
Good luck...
