She has not had bile acid testing done. I’ll ask her vet about that, too. The ER vet mentioned liver shunt last year, but I think (if I remember correctly) that was ruled out based on symptoms & labs. I could be wrong though. |
A lot of vets think there should be symptoms and elevated liver enzymes for there to be a shunt.....not true.
Here is a link about my Teddy who I mentioned above. The size of the shunt is what is crucial...if it is a smaller shunt then some of the blood still goes through the liver and is filtered.

Teddy never had ANY elevated enzymes and was tested yearly prior to being diagnosed with a shunt.
