If so, I will ask the Vet for a copy of her results.
Also, wonder why the Vet did not recommend diet changes? I specifically asked him about it and he said that she was little and needed protein as a growing puppy. This confuses me as everyone else seems to be on low protein . . maybe I would be trading one problem for another?
I will join the group and call the doctor if she will consult with me.
Thank you for your knowledge. On the one hand my Vet said - no need to rush into anything unless she has another 'episode' - on the other hand, he is now reluctant to spay her in February as we planned - so makes it a bit confusing for the owner - who does not know what they are doing!
In the meantime, is there something I can give her as a treat? I was giving her bits of cooked chicken but maybe there is a better treat I could give her . . . while we are deciding what to do? I think her favorite, pupparoni, might not be too good right now either. |
no pupperonis those are not good for yorkies anyway as they are too high in fat those things are greasy and vet told me when dex got pancreatitis those are the worst treats too high in fat
i would hold off on spay and if this were my dog when they spay i would have them do liver biopsy to give a firm diagnosis of mvd as that really is the only firm diagnosis for mvd so you will know for sure
Yes centers should do phone consult just like dr dodds consults on blood work over the phone - some charge and usually the charge of an office visit which it is worth it since they specialize in these things and always good to have a second opinion from a specialist when things are more involved
