But since I've been on YorkieTalk I have wanted some type of testing to screen for liver shunts.
I got my first Yorkie 16 yrs ago. I started raising Yorkies 7 years ago. I normally have 1-3 (max) litters a year. Some years I don't have any. I have not had one person contact me in all this time about a liver shunt, and I keep close contact with them.
I'm just a little concerned about the fasting the wee ones for 12 hrs.
What about a Blood Panel?
