I'm not suggesting that your baby has a liver shunt but this is something that should always be considered with yorkies. My Zoe began with symptoms like yours and it steadily got worse so please consider asking your vet to perform a bile acid test to be on the safe side because my dog was very sick for 2 years and I had no clue. |
-Considering that Yorkies have such a high rate of liver shunts. Ask your Vet when is a good time to do a bile acid test to be sure. Our little DJ had his LS fixed when he was 6 1/2. Previous owner(s) never ran the tests and probably was one of the reasons he died so young (7 1/2).
