Oh my! I'm so sorry to hear this news... (although those numbers aren't really all that high). Shunts normally come in at over 100 on the BAT.

Great suggestion from your new vet about going to UF. The liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and kidneys are all so closely working together it could be anything.... your other vet said 'shunt' only bc it affects many Yorkies, but those results are not definitive in any way.

Also, LS dogs do not properly process vaccines, it does absolutely nothing to vaccinate them, except make their liver work harder to get rid of the vaccine. So no more vaccines until she's diagnosed.

Keeping you both in my prayers...

U of Tenn recommends Hill's Prescription L/D for LS dogs... they said it's the best thing one can do for them, short of surgery.
