One starting point. re recommendations for screening for liver shunt. This includes BATs. I have not had to go further than bats paired with the full blood screen I did with the Razzman.
A complete blood panel is often recommended by many. Establishing a baseline is always good. Then you need to decide how often it is done; and then be prepared for expanded panels if something comes back far off.
ANyhoo not wanting to hijack thread just offer some info for you. |
Don't worry about the hijack, we're just hanging out, killing time while waiting for Minnie's DNA test. I'll bring this up the next time Bella is at the vet. I did a little research and found that although Yorkies are 36 times more likely to develop liver shunts than other breeds, the number of Yorkies affected by liver shunts is only about 2%, thank God! I'm glad that the Razzman has been testing okay so far. Thanks for the link!
