What should I test for, besides Liver Shunt? And how do they test for that, a blood test? |
Bile acid testing is a blood test that is done following an overnight fasting period. Usually you fast overnight and drop off at vet in AM. A blood sample is done and then the pup is fed and two hours later another blood sample is done. This test shows how the liver is functioning.
This is a great link about liver shunts and does explain the test.

I would also ask your vet about his thoughts on xrays for Legg Calves Perthes.
