Hoping to get replies to this. My Stella is 3 1/2 years old and had liver shunt surgery June 4 and she did so well and I was so excited until we had her first blood work done 6 weeks post surgery (ALT 289 Alk 248). Her bile acid test was bad, over 100 before eating 325 after eating when it suppose to be <15 before meal and <25 after. All related liver counts were bad. I cant get any answers what this means from my vet or the specialist just let’s check again in 3 months. Has anyone else experienced this post liver shunt surgery? What do you suggest I do Now? This little dog is my everything and I will do whatever it takes. I’m in Southern California. These counts are no better than they were pre surgery maybe a bit worse. The vet gave her 3 months to live without surgery now post surgery her counts are still bad and I have no answers.
