His ataxia is so distinctive and typical of dogs with Liver shunt issues. He paces, falls, presses his nose to the wall, spaces out. I am following the advice of my vet. |
I find it hard to believe a vet would say such a thing. IF your vet did say that without doing any testing, then you should seek a second opinion.
Best way to go is with an internal med specialist.
