Itchy and vomiting bile, I'd have the liver and pancreas blood testing done to r/o those disorders just for a looksee at current values. Tibbe only vomited bile occasionally and very occas. had a mucous-y stool on one end while the other end was normal! He later got lethargic and anorexic most of the day until evening when he would eat normally and play fine, was himself. Then the next morning he was sleepy well until the evening. Now, he wakes me to get up and feed him, is feisty and no lethargy, anorexia, completely normal stools and all thanks to finding out he likely has MVD and simply changed his diet. His regular liver studies were normal, pancreas CPL snap normal but thanks to Ellie May(Crystal) who said there still could possibly be liver dysfunction even routine liver studies are normal. So when BAT done, his levels were high so we progressed to scintigraphy/ab. sono to r/o shunt, which we did, thankfully. Radiologists and his vets all agreed probably mild MVD, treated with hepatic diet. He was treated with Metronidazole for 10 days and a hepatic diet. He's a new dog!
Shelby-Dale, get well fast!!!!!!!!!!!
