 Possible Liver Shunt!
Hi there!
I was reading all the symptons you stated. Sounds like my lil girl. She had a very high bile acid count and I was sent to a specialist. They did an ultrasound and couldn't see the shunt (if there was one). I will be scheduling a surgery so they can go in and see if she does have one, and fix it at the same time if they do come across one. The ultrasound didn't show a thing, but it doesn't mean there is not one. The vet told me that since she is so small, the shunt could be teeny-tiny and only be found by going in surgically. I am currently giving her AmoxiDrops (twice daily) and have her on a low protein diet (Hill's Presciption Diet l/d - wet). You should request a bile acids test to be done. |
