Thanks for your concern. Emily was diagnosed with liver shunt tonight. We are going to make an appointment with a specialist on Monday. We are very scared and sad. Keep her in your thoughts. She is playing very normally tonight so shes back to normal. Hopefully thats a good sign.

I just read this thread today and I am very sorry to hear about Emily. I will be praying for her. Hope it is not as bad.

So you were online and thought I'd let you know the latest. The vet said her bile acid test does indicate a liver shunt. We are very sad and scared. Hoping to hear now that it is the least harmful of the liver shunts. Apparently there are two kinds.

Thanks for any prayers

At least she is home with you and is more like her old self. I know that has to make you feel a little better.

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear that and hopefully it is the less serious type. I have been
gone all day and forgot to sign out and just came on for a minute hoping that you
had found out something. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.

My vet mentioned Auburn University. I'll check out both. Thanks

To all on this site I'm sorry if I am not using it correctly. I think I could respond to all this way. I've clicked on some of your kind responses but hope this get's to all. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks for all the support. I promise I will learn the etiquette and proper usage of this site when life calms down. The news of the liver shunt has us very upset and sad.

Don't worry about your usage of this site at this time. I can only imagine that you are beside yourself right now. There's another girl on this site whose baby had a liver shunt and they operated and her baby is doing well and has been given a healthy outlook. We will continue to say special prayers for your little Emily. Don't think the worst. They do wonders with it these days.
