our vet bile acids all yorkie and maltese as it is so common in these breeds. Join yahoogroups.com and search liver shunt and there are two groups i recommend going on there as you will learn a ton and i believe dr tobias asst is on there as well - these people really know a ton about liver shunt
so sorry this happened to your baby -- my yorkie is mvd so i do know about this as learned a ton from those two groups.
the only thing on the cbc that shows is high ALT but they can have a normal alt and still have a shunt
that is why the bile acids are so important in these breeds
