Snickers Mom
I'm so sorry about your Snickers.
I've been writing on the "Sickness/Emergency" forum and I'm not sure how all these forums work together...no matter...
My almost 5 year old, 5 pound yorkie, Lillymae, was diagnosed with a liver shunt at age 6 months and the vet recommended that we treat her through diet with Hills KD formula. She's been just fine up until a month ago - no vomiting, shakes, pacing, etc. I took her to the vet when she started eating grass and vomiting clear mucus (once or twice in the a.m.) . He told me to start feeding her more often and make sure she eats late at night. That has not solved the problem. For about a month, she hasn't wanted to eat early but will usually eat around noon. Prior to this she would get me up around 6 a.m. running to her food bowl.
Yesterday evening she started pacing and paced for several hours.. she wouldn't play and wouldn't let me hold her. She did, however, walk about 1/2 mile in our usual place this morning. It's after 1 p.m. my time and she still hasn't eaten today.
I'm getting really worried and I want to take her to UT. I'm not really satisfied with my vets here.
I would like to get an appointment with Dr. Kirk at UT. Do you think I could make one or would I need a referral from my vet?
