 Yorkie Chorkie with probable liver shunt
Toby is a 4 year old (11.5 lb) Chorkie who was until recently extremely healthy. He started chin rubbing, rear leg twitching, lip licking episodes and then would return to his normal happy self. We learned through bile acid blood work that he probably has a liver shunt. We are now managing this medically with lactulose, neomycin and low protein hepatic dry dog food. Has anyone had long term success with this illness by transitioning to a balanced, proven home made diet including the correct supplements? |
