Kathy, thanks for looking that up for me. I'm hoping Meg doesn't have any shunt/liver issues. I'm doing the BAT just to put an end (I hope) to my worries. Meg hasn't shown any symptoms, but I know it's so common in Yorkies, and if she is going to have problems, I want to start special diet modifications, etc asap.
