Ultrasound for liver problems, unless done by an expert in liver shunt detection is almost useless to check for external shunts.
Usually a full liver panel blood work is done, then a specific BATS test is done. Then dependent about the specialist a scintography.
I would suggest it is time for the specialists to get involved. Ask for an internal medicine specialist referral, or take yourself to the best Veterinary Animal Hospital which has a team of specialists on board.
In terms of food, you can try so different things to entice her to eat. Try lamb, and sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese, add some cooked squash, or nice green beans, and some plain cooked rice.
In the long term she must be on a fully balanced diet, but she does need to keep her weight up. She has lost about 10% of her body weight.
If she is not eating, is she drinking water? Dehydration is a concern if she is not drinking water. Check her gums often. Should be pink and moist. Dry and pale means dehydration and an immediate vet visit.
Keep us posted And I hope you get to the bottom of what is bothering your girl. |
Thanks for the response and I did take her in today for another check up and they removed her decatheter and gaves us some meds but all around she is doing much better,
we brought her home and she started beign herself again running around, jumping on everyone that visits, kicking her lil legs back as if she was a bull lol, and she has not been herself for the past week and a half and to see her like this today brought a smile to me and my wife,
she is drinking water but she is just very picky i guess in what she eat's, as a pup I started her on the royal canine for yorkies which she loved then started showing less intrest in it till she stopped eating it, then changed to simply nourish which again loved then left, and before she got sick and we introduced the new puppy and started him on roya canine as well and she would go crazy for it also and thats when she got sick and our vet said to give her his food and after 2 days she lost interest, so now I tryed boiled chicken and rice and she moves rice to eat just the chicken but now after 3 days NO INTEREST, so ima try the food's you suggested till I find something she loves because she is picky and I hope thats it!!
