It didn't sound reasonable to me, I think in rural area's when a yorkie comes in not feeling well the vets automatically jump to conclusions. I know liver enzymes can be elevated because the little one may have eaten something that was toxic, or could have gotten access to zinc and could be a result of many things. From what I gather there has been no schedule to perform bile acid test or any other tests.
I think the breeder is willing to take the puppy back and offer a full refund of the purchase price. He indicated being aware even though the parents were tested and were cleared of genetic defects that this could just be one of those things that can occur from generations, and it is possible the two were possibly carriers and it was unknown until this occured. |
In your initial post I understood that what you thought was unreasonable was the breeder's response.
If it was the vet's then I stand by my original response. The BATS test is a Specific blood test to delineate further the liver function. It requires fasting before a first blood draw, then eating, then taking another blood draw.
Just ask the vet to do a BATS test; all vets should be experienced and aware of how to do this. The cost is only about $50 or so.
Let us know what the numbers are. If the numbers are way way off the board that is not good news.
