Thank you so much for you reply with interesting info. Yes your right about the 'Liver Shunt'. But the vet did say its a possibility he must consider and watch for. I'm not sure if we can buy those drops here but there must be some equivalent . Otherwise I will look on line. Her stool tests have now been clear but remain loose..no shape but not diarrhea . Thank you
