Some will just assume MVD if no shunt is found, but MVD can only truly be diagnosed by a liver biopsy.
I thought my yorkie had MVD because her bile acids were high but it turned out to be another liver disease.
I would definitely look into it further, but I wouldn't recommend breeding any yorkie with high bile acids |
She has emailed me back and told me that she has been given some conflicting information. I have already advised her to get a 2nd opinion. I sure hope she does it. I know it must cost a lot but she wants to breed him and she needs to know for sure. I need to know for sure. Sylvia
