Brodie update:
Bile acid test results:
Pre meal - 290
Post meal - 366
He has no external liver shunts so they believe it is an internal liver shunt that is causing him the issues. The only way they could find this is to do a liver biopsy which is very dangerous and costly. My vet has recommended Hills LD and has ordered me a bag of dry and a case of wet food as well. He is going to monitor Brodie's urine and blood once every 3 months. He said Brodie could have lots of complications down the road but right now he is playful and healthy and he sees no reason to do a very dangerous surgery that could kill a 3lb dog if it can be controlled by diet and constant regulation. He said Brodie could have Hepatic micro dysplasia. :'(
What to do now?
