Liver issues are somewhat common in yorkies even if they are asymptomatic. A lot of times the liver values will go up though. At age nine I doubt there is a nassive congenital liver problem if pup has always had normal labs and no neurological symptoms. |
I appreciate your explanation, that makes sense. I dropped him off this morning for the tests. They said the bile acid results could be tomorrow, but might be Monday, however, the serum calcium results take 7 to 10 days.
Thanks to those who responded and are saying prayers.
