My Vet spoke to Dr Myers who works at a Vet Hospital which has BC surgeons. If this were a shunt then why does she look like a happy, healthy dog who has had NO symptoms at all for almost 6 weeks?
I know the BAT shows that there is an issue but is it possible that it was a toxin or that she was getting too much people food treats from my mother?
I am going to call him again tomorrow to discuss the diet and order the L/D and Denemarin and when I do I am going to ask him some more questions.
I know some of you will not agree but for now we are going to try the diet and have her blood work and Bile Acids re-tested again in 6 weeks and then if they are not better we will explore one of the other procedures.
I know you said some have waited and it has disastrous results but I have also heard and read many stories where changing the diet was a success and completely turned the numbers around so I want to give Lucy that chance before we consider some huge procedure that will be hard on her and possibly not necessary.
I thank you all for your guidance, support and your opinions and I am very appreciative for ALL of you!!
Keep up the support as I know I will need it and I will keep you updated on how she is doing!
