Charlie has MVD and does well on the low protein diet (Royal Canin Hepatic) and meds (Lactulose and Flagyl daily) it is a very good idea to do the testing to check for an actual shunt, while the symptoms may be few it can go very badly if you arent treating the actual problem. Many members here have shunt babies so you will get allot of very good advise Do your research make sure to take questions with you to the vets office. I imagine that if they havent already they will want to do an ultrasound and unless they specialize in liver shunts they should refer you to a specialist. Keep us updated. |
