her glucose level was out of the roof. it was supposed to be between 0-92. it was 491.
BTW She is dong very well today because I put her bigger cage in my room, out of the sun. I did not realize she was in the sun while I was at school. |
if they had bile acids done and are leaning towards liver shunt they must be high -- did they send you to dr broome in tustin or los angeles as he is the only one in california that does the scintigraphy and sounds like that is what you are having done. This is his website and i believe it is $390 to have done and i agree you should have this if bile acids are over 100 so you do not fly all the way to tennessee to have done and find out it is mvd but my guess is this dog has liver shunt from what you describe as hypoglycemia and liver shunt go hand in hand
Scintigraphy
