Even though I am not experienced in liver shunt, I have had other illnesses with my pups and also with human loved ones. When the experts start to give you technical information, your brain is going to be full of worry and jumbled just trying to absorb all of the information .... so be ready to write down the tests and results. Have them repeat if necessary so that you can write it down correctly. You will be glad that you have these notes to reference afterwards. Then come back here and post the results, if your vet isn't able to help you understand it at the time (like I said, your brain will be jumbled because of everything coming at you at once), there will be people here that can explain it.
Just being able to bounce this off of people that have been through it will help you to understand it better and ask better questions when you discuss this with your pup's vets.
Again, I'm sorry. |
Wonderful advice. It is completely overwhelming. I need to write everything down. I'm SO THANKFUL people here can help me. Thank you.
