Hi everyone!
The Vet called me first thing this morning and told me basically she is as confused as we are with what is going on with Lucy.
The bile acids came back with this: Fasting: 103 and After food: 35.3
I told the Vet that Lucy is no longer throwing up and that she has a lot of energy and everything seems normal just like her old self and she said that she is a bit confused and was thinking we would get a different outcome. She said that it could be possible that she got into something unknown to us that could have raised her levels and made her sick. She also said that Shunts usually are found earlier in Yorkies usually by 6 mos. old. I asked her about MVD but she said without knowing for sure that she doesn't have a shunt she can't diagnose MVD.
The next step would be to go to a specialist for the ultrasound, etc. she would prefer we go to the University of MN but she could find one is St. Cloud if we don't want to go all the way into the Cities.
She suggested that because she has NO symptoms at this time and because she seems to be so much better that we wait and monitor her for the next couple of weeks and if she becomes symptomatic bring her in and if she doesn't we will wait 4 weeks and do the blood tests to check her levels again.
Since she is so much better and has no symptoms I think I am going to monitor her and just repeat the tests again in a few weeks (unless of course she has issues again) and go from there. I will take her for further testing at that time if her levels are still high. I think this is the best thing to do right now. I do trust this Vet and I think if she was really concerned that she would say Lucy needs the tests right away.
Maybe since I changed her food to Fromm and I am keeping a closer eye on other people trying to feed her table food namely my mother who I have had a very strict conversation with and she now understands that she can not give Lucy table food as she was sneaking her some before (because Lucy is so cute and looks at her like she is soo hungry
when she is there!
What do you all think?
