| well I'm still at a loss.... I am thinking of trying another vet... They said my female needs to be retested because her test results are not right..DUHHHHH..... They had no clue what MVD and PSVA was.... The lab tech told them according to male's blood work he has a very mild MVD. I thought that had to be diagnosed with liver biopsy??? The lab told my vet I can still use him for breeding ???? If everyone fixed dogs with a mild MVD there would be no Yorkies???? I so don't even know??? I also researched that if any hemolysis showed on the report that is from the lab doing something and the plasma has mixed with the white blood cells. I wish I saved the site cause I can't find it now. If so the test results are inacurate and have to be retested...... I have been told by several people if my female is o.k. then breed them and test the pups.... Nobody knows where it comes from if it is even heriditary.... Can anyone help out with this????? |

At the very least, they should know what MVD is! Dogs with liver shunts should NOT be bred. It is hereditary. Dogs with MVD likewise should not be bred and not all Yorkies have it. You cannot diagnose it without a liver biopsy but if all other tests are normal except the bile acids, some vets just say it is MVD in Yorkies because it is so common. Those numbers for the male do indicate MVD but they cannot possibly say that for sure. The female could have MVD, a shunt or something altogether different.

| I have been talking with a canine nutritionaist and she say's to put my Yorkies on wet food instead of kibble. Feed sweet potatoe and oatmeal mixed for 3 months then retest. She has given me a name of anothe vet to use.... I figure it can't hurt what have I got to loose.... |
