Chloe went in for her spay today the the vet informed me that her liver enzymes are a tad high...130. She said it isn't really high but a little. The vet thinks it could be because on Monday she was sick, throwing up alot...I took her in and she got an I.V to prevent dehydration and some nausea meds which cured it. Vet said the reason the enzymes could be high is due to that (maybe she has a slight pancreatis) which would cause the liver enzymn levels to be higher.

I have to wonder though. Wouldn't a liver shunt cause vomiting as well? She has never had any diahhrea but IS a small skinny girl. I think if she throws up again I will definately take her in for further testing to see if it is a liver shunt. The vet doesn't seem worried at all but I worry about everything.

Just curious, if she was diagnosed with a liver shunt what would have to be done? Surgery? What is the cost of that? I have no idea if she has it but I just want to be prepared "if". Does it really shorten their life. What's the outlook?

Thanks a bunch in advance!
