I have to tell you, I worried about her being so young when I got her for a Christmas present. The good news is epilepsy is very treatable. The vet is keeping her and working on her non eating habits. Thank you for all the prayers. God answers prayer.
epilepsy? Is she having seizures? I am confused as blood work does not determine epilepsy. Epilepsy is not as common as liver issues in this breed or pancreas issues. I have never read that before about being taken from moms before 12 weeks and i have two yorkies both were taken away from mom before 12 wks as i did not know any better and they are from pet store and byb

did the vet do bile acid testing or just regular blood work and ALT normal? My dd has normal ALT but high bats.
