 Possible liver shunt
My puppy Joey saw the vet today to follow up on his abnormal (74) liver bile acid test. They were going to run more bloodwork, but my vet says there is no doubt his liver is compromised and sent me to Oradell Animal Hospital in NJ for a sonogram and to see a surgeon there. I live very close to NYC and could go elsewhere like Cornell. However, my vet thinks Oradell is a great facility and the sonographer specializes in diagnosing liver disease. It is a very reputable and well known 24 hour day emergency hospital and and an upper tier facility (not the run of the mill place). I can't get an appt until March 5th. Joey is asymptomatic right now. Feedback please, anyone hear of Oradell for this, okay to wait, can he have a seizure or develop symptoms at any time? Should I switch his food from California Natural Lamb/Rice small bites. The lamb formula is the only one this company makes in small bites. I switched off the puppy food because I also have a one year old Yorkie. Thanks everyone. |
