I still believe BATs should be done and shunt ruled out before going really far like scoping which is often what it takes to nail this kind of thing down. But, of course, it is just one pet owner's opinion that could be far off base.
I think most places would still want the blood work done. I just don’t feel like it’s worms. If the blood work comes back with no answers I will do the BAT and if still no answers then I will look at a specialist. Most are not close at all so I would like to do what I can at my vet first. I do value your opinion. I’m kinda thinking you are spot on about the liver shunt but I personally have not experienced it in a dog. I just think about how he has always been really weird and picky with food. What happens if it is liver shunt?
