Or is this the pup that only had one sample taken?
Joey is the pup who only had one sample taken. The vet just confirmed that it is 74% and that he wants the ultrasound done. The radiologist at Oradell specializes in liver sonograms, pretty much all he does, so I am hopeful he would find one if it were there. If not, then I have to figure out what to do. Joey is acting completely normal. Is it possible to have a shunt and have so much energy and appetite?
