He'll get all excited and sometimes rub his face against the corner of his doggie steps as I'm getting up and opening the door and then come running. He's not been doing it this week but he's always done that. That Ginger video is frightening. That poor little dog looked miserable and hopeless. She died. Tibbe doesn't drool or circle or wander around aimlessly or act blind like Ginger did. Or show weakness or a lack of coordination. He is restless and lethargic when his tummy is gassy and loud. I sure wish I hadn't seen that video or read any more about liver shunt tonight. |
Oh my gosh, Jeanie!! I know the exact video you are talking about because I just watched it a week ago to figure out exactly what head pressing looked like as I was unclear. I was not prepared for that video and I bawled and was a mess for hours.
Stay off of google and youtube and the like right now. You know we tell everyone that. Just know what you know and that is what the vet has told you. The BAT is just to reassure and rule out anything (hopefully) but not because it's likely Tibbe has liver shunt. I don't think it is likely. I just think it warrants checking. Until you have another diagnosis than the one you have, don't ask for worries so don't go searching the net.
