Last fall I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Karen Tobias and attending a seminar re. Livershunt (LS) She promotes bile acid testing (pre and post feeding annd blood work) of Yorkie pups at age 10 weeks to see if there is LS problems before they are sold.

She also suggests having the potental parents of the pups tested for LS prior to breeding.

Do any of you do this???? I think this is a must and I wolldnn't buy a pup uunless it was done.
