Hi!
My name is Raquel and my little dog's name is Toto. We both live in Orlando but our hometown is Venezuela. I rescued Toto around a year ago from abusive owners and he is now currently 2 years old and 2.9 pounds. Lately, he was unable to walk properly and without falling down and became more lethargic than usual, but the vet did not know what was wrong with him. After some research and talking with yorkie rescuers, I decided to ask for a bile acid test. It turns out that the results were high and apparently he had liver shunt.
He did not tell me what type of liver shunt he had and gave me an antibiotic (amoxicilin) and another medicine called lactulose, plus a can of hill's liver desease food. I would like to take him to a specialist, but since I am new here, I really need a recommendation.
I would appreciate if anyone with some experience with this desease could contact me and further talk about my options, tips and maybe recommend a new vet.
Thanks for reading
Here is a video of Toto before he got really sick.
