Today I found out my 2.5 yr old yorkie likely has liver shunt. He's been vomiting for the last month and meds and antibiotics were not working. After presenting a list of Max's symptoms to the vet, the next step was a blood chem. Monday we will have a bile test done. I've decided to manage this condition medically vs surgery. He just has not been himself and it's been hard to see the change. One day a vibrant young dog, then a lethargic, ill dog that seemed changed overnight. I feel for you and wish you the best in whatever route you take. I miss the old Maxwell and hope thus condition does not change him forever. |
