Thanks! My vet had a cancellation this morning so I took Roxie in. She did an Xray and said everything looked ok. Esophagus was normal looking no indication of megaesophagus and her liver, lungs and heart all looked appropriate size. She felt her liver enzymes were really good except for the one. She prescribed a low dose steroid for 7 days and called in a prescription for prilosec compounded with metronidazole and small frequent meals. I pick that up tomorrow. She wants to see how she does on this and will call me Wednesday to check on her. At that time we will decide if we go ahead with more liver testing. She said while not impossible, she doesn't think it is a liver shunt. I was happy her esophagus looked normal and hopeful that we can control her reflux. I appreciate keeping her in your prayers.
