 Panicking--abnormal bloodwork
Ok, I am trying to remain calm and not be an alarmist, but I am having a tough evening. Joey who is 8 months was at the vet yesterday for his pre-op bloodwork as he was supposed to be neutered tomorrow. We were waiting for him to grow a little (which he has, to a whopping 3 lbs) and for some of his baby teeth to fall out. The vet called me today and said his liver bile acid test (something like that) was very high. Should be around 7 and his is 74. I am bringing him in tomorrow for further tests, one that includes fasting and a urinalysis. The vet mentioned a liver shunt. Please give me whatever advice you can based on this skimpy info. Can it be anything else? |
