When are you able to get him in? I would put him on a low protein diet. |
I've gone to 2 vet offices for this:
Nicky was misdiagnosed with IBS when he was a baby
Then he was diagnosed with Pancrititis @ vet (A).
I was told to have a PLI TLI panel Pancrititis and send test to Cornell in NY to confirm @ vet (B).
Then I was told, no, do an X-Ray, it's more accurate @ vet (A).
Now, Nicky's under suspicion of Liver Shunt, even though he's almost 4 years old (I thought only babies suffer from this???)
He had a Bile Acid test: pre was 1.7 and & post was 97.3
His blood glucose-Baseline value was 80 @ 8:30 am, but vet says she's not worried about that because he was fasting for 12 hours.
I'm trying to fit Nicky in as soon as possible for an ultrasound, but the doctor that my vet referred us to is on vacation for 2 weeks, so I asked if I should go with another doctor to speed the test up and I'm waiting for reply from vet.
Nicky has been in a low protein diet ever since his last "Pancreatic" episode.
