That is what's puzzling me? She has no symptoms of liver shunt. I have been reading all about it and the symptoms, but she has none of the symptom. She was not feeling well for just 3 days last week and now she is back to normal playing and running around like nothing is wrong with her. My vet told me that 96 wasn't that high? Is he wrong? What is normal and high? Thanks for any information you can give me. I live in WV. But going to Tennessee is no problem if she is better off going there to be seen.
