 Liver shunt test ?
Does anyone know whether or not a test exits to determine whether or not the dog has a liver shunt? This would be very helpful before a puppy is sold by the breeder or purchased. My puppy was recently diagnosed with a shunt and I was wondering if I should have insisted even paid for a test in advance of purchasing her. Love her to pieces and am doing everything I can to help her now. However, I am wondering if there is any test of which I should have been aware and had done earlier.
Does anyone know for sure? If there is, what is it called? My little baby became ill and underwent multiple lab tests, an ultrasound, and finally a scintigraphy before a definitive diagnosis was made.
Thanks for any info you may have.
