[carissa_]

so for the last few months i have been in and out of the vet with rex due to not eating, losing weight, throwing up etc. a few months back.

well he eats like a pig now. and gained all his weight back since i have been cooking for him. no more throwing up of diarrhea. he eats extra lean ground beef brown rice and veggies.

we started his test off with a blood panel witch showed a high count of white blood cells. so then that led to a bile acid test his results were

Befor 23 high normal 7
After 66 high normal 22

the vet called and said well the numbers don't indicate a shunt. next step was the ultrasound...didn't show a shunt either.

nothing has been abnormal . but there was still one more test they wanted to do a protein C test. so Monday i took him for that...well vet called me back today and told me his number showed he had a shunt!? i think she said it was 65%. i don't remember i was so annoyed when i heard "he has a shunt" i blocked everything out.

why did 2 test come back showing no shunt? and the protein C came back positive!

he is around 3.5 pound and a year and 2 months. :'( my baby means the world to me. im so confused as to what to think now. the vet said she was going to call an internal medicine doctor to see what the next step will be.

i just want to know the simple answer YES or NO shunt? i have spent so much money on all these test now what am i suppose to think?

what are your thoughts?

thank you
