I am so glad you had a scintigraphy done. Ultrasounds can be as low as 60% accurate in detecting shunts according to Dr. Center. Smaller shunts can be missed and small dogs, especially if they wiggle, are most likely to have a shunt missed. That sounds like what happened with your Emma.
Please don't think that feeding Emma Evo had anything to do with her shunt. It is too high in protein and her diet will have to be modified, but shunts are congenital.
I am just so glad you persisted and finally got a diagnosis. |
