I didn't know a Sticky article had to be anything but something soundly informative or an opinion or advice based on someone's reasonable thoughts and conclusions placed in our Library for ease in accessing. Each member reading them then considers the information or advice offered and makes up their own mind about it. I wonder at how many small dogs with recurrent iffy tummies, nausea and spitting up, vomiting, picky eaters, occasional lethargy, etc., go improperly tested due to their problems being associated with stress or something they ate, IBD, gastroenteritis, etc., as my Tibbe was for two years? He repeatedly had normal liver and other blood studies but eventually, thanks to Ellie May(Crystal) strongly suggesting it, had an abnormal Bile Acids test, obtained only upon my insistence and then further testing to rule-out liver shunt and was diagnosed with MVD. A change in diet has changed his life and he's a totally different dog now. Seems like this article would be something everyone should have easy access to in order to become more informed so they can push along a ill-informed or reluctant vet when routine liver studies keep coming back normal.
