Oh gosh guys, I spoke too soon earlier this morning.

Lucy did seem much brighter; ate some of her kibble; and drank. Shortly thereafter though, she went and hid in a corner. Then hid under a chair; then tried to go behind the washer/dryer.

The vet was concerned about her behavior changes and wanted to see her.

He again checked her over; heard some small gurgling in her stomach, but could find nothing wrong. No fever; no apparent pain in her limbs, neck, ears, or stomach when he papated and rotated them.

Although we had her liver enzymes tested when I first brought her home and he is not immediately suspicous of liver shunt; we are going to take her in Monday for some fasting bile acid testing.

I feel like crying; in fact I AM crying but I'm not going to think the worst. I'm so scared because her sister ended up having LS - BUT Lucy had a different mother - same father.

It's going to be a very long week-end.

Thanks everyone for listening.
