Princess - several of us have Yorkies who have either been diagnosed with LS or who are in testing for it. If you have any concerns, you should get her to the vet as soon as you can. Be sure to let the vet know that you will be fasting her so that she can get a before/after fasting blood test. If the bile acid levels are high, further testing will be required.
I've spoken with a top-notch vet in Knoxville who stated that LS cannot be determined by a blood test, it's only an indication of a problem. There are several threads here concerning LS. I don't know how to link to them, but if you do a search you will find lots of information.
Sending good thoughts and prayers your way! |
