Here is a link to another thread on here about a person going through a similar situation as you.
In that link I provide some links to Dr. Tobias a leading expert in the field of Liver Shunt. Dr Tobias is located in Tennessee.
I don't know if your vet is a "specialist" or not in this field, but this disease is one I consider serious, and as such, I would get a second opinion as to best practice course of treatment. That being proper and best diagnostic tests, and if surgery is required a surgeon with plenty of experience in the field of LS surgery.
I know that for me, I'd be headed to the Univ of Tennessee if I had a pup with suspected Liver problems. |
I am RIGHT behind you, Gail!!!! If I had to hitch hike all the way there, that is where I would flee to! GOD BLESS DR.TOBIAS AND ALL THE WORK AND RESEARCH THEY DO AT UT!!!!! Excuse me while I go make out another donation to her, for the work and research she and the "team" all do up there.....
