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?
It may be IBD or some other GI thing. That is why I asked about the GI panel...my vet does that with dogs that are presenting with GI symptoms.
Gastrointestinal Laboratory - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
I only suggested BAT's since that is a good thing to rule out in yorkies before pursuing something that will be more intensive and expensive to diagnose.
