I don't want to make her fast at this age, do you suggest waiting until six months? I didn't know the puppy needs to fast for the bile acid test???
Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement!!  |
The urine tests for Liver Shunt. Remember when testing for shunt, tests only reveal that your dog does not have shunt, it does not prove that your dog is not a carrier. There is no DNA Marker as yet for that. So, when you breed you're taking a chance.
Prior to breeding her you should have her tested for reproductive infections....usually as at the onset of her Heat Cycle....
There is so much reading material out there and so many diseases that can occur in certain lines......
Make sure that your girl comes from a good established pedigree and is a good representation of the standard.
