And we ran test and redid them and redid the to make sure they all came back the same . And than that is what we found out was the Porto Shunt and it is Extrahepatic. So we are going to 1st try the diet and meds.. Some days are good but never the same. She just isn't herself. lays around and is always spaced out alot, Just so sad.. But thank you for your reply. I just hope we are doing the right thing. |
Have you considered the surgery? I've heard from the vet and from online that it's riskier when the dog is older, but the liver shunt surgery has basically been perfected over the past 10 years. You are going to notice the BIGGEST difference once you which her. She will be just like she used to! I promise! I really so, anyway. I'm sure she will. Louie does just fine on his medicine and low protein diet, but I'm just worried about the long run, honestly.
