Hello and welcome to YT! I'm so sorry to hear your little one is having some health problems. I have never heard of needle biopsy for diagnosing liver shunt. Did they do the bile acid test...where they fast the dog and take blood and then feed the dog and take more blood? The bile acid test is normally the one they do to decide if it's liver shunt.
I'm sure you will get lot's of replies here. There have been members here with liver shunt babies...that have or will have surgeries for the shunt, and there are many happy ending stories. I will say a prayer for Aria and you! It is such a scary thing to hear a possible diagnosis of liver shunt! Thank goodness they've come a long way in treating them successfully! Best wishes! |
