Just hoping this is what the vet says as well. Sounds like we have more diagnostic tests to do to see the liver and shunts to know what we're up against. He is the sweetest dog ever and should not have to go through this. Thanks again for all the advice, and yes a board cert surgeon, I am researching only those who specialize in shunt/liver issues. |
I'm so happy you are calming down some. I think it really helps to talk and hear from those who have had littles face this.
From what I read, it would be bile acid tests (and even those could be skewed) and an ultrasound, which is best for seeing a shunt.
I will keep praying and check back for updates
