Well small ones like not eating as well and not as energetic as he should have been for a puppy. My vet thought he was fine but I took him to run a complete bloodwork to rule out LS and anything else that could come up. His bile acids came back high, he never had to do the fasting one since we already knew something was wrong with that test. I called U of T and scheduled him for 2 weeks later. I drove 11 hours by myself to take him to the best possible care. As for a referral, you print out the form online and just have your vet fill it out and fax it. As far as cost, I didn't care because I had insurance but everything (neutered with only one testicle descended, baby teeth pulled, all the testing and the surgery) came out to $1800. My vet said the testing alone here would have been more than that. (I'm in Maryland). Anyway if you have any questions please ask or pm me. By the way it is now 3 months later and Ozzie is a chubby bundle of energy. Oh and I absolutely fell in love with Tennessee.
