Emily has had another pre & post bile acid test. We were originally doing it to help us qualify for the UT funding. When we talked to her puppy doctor he informed us that she had a normal bile acid test November when she was 6 months old. He asked us to bring her in to see him with the emergency vet's info & xrays. We did and he asked us to hold off until he gets her new bile tests. He said her liver size wasn't small, she was a very heathy size and much to alert compared to other shunt yorkies. It could be a acquired shunt that has formed since Nov. We had an appt. today Wed to go to Auburn for a complete diagnostic test and possible surgury. Her original bile post was 43.9 her new test was 36.2. We'll talk to the vet today to hear if thats still significantly high enough to warrant more that an antibiotic, lactulose and a 3 week low protein highly digestible diet. Emily definitely seems more depressed lately. I see her resting more that she used to. I think she misses her routine of walking an hour every other day. We can't risk it for the glucose can drop from to much excersise. I've got to take her for a fun ride in the car for she is developing a fear of the destination. She went three times Monday to get blood drawn. Well I know this is long but as you can see I had a lot to relay.
Thanks for a place to vent and be heard.

Whew

Thanks for the undate on Emily! Poor baby, so much for her to have to deal with in her tiny life. Sometimes Toto acts depressed when very small things change in her life, I hope that's all it is with Emily! I'm glad that if she has to go to have further testing, that it's Auburn! Unless things have changed there, they will get to the bottom of this. We will be praying that this will be a simple thing and she will be back to her perky self in no time!! Toto sends her puppy kisses and we all hope you will get good news this time!

Sammie and Gracie and I are all up here in West Virginia thinking of you two and hoping for the best. Please keep us informed. Bless you!

Oh no poor baby. I hope she feels better soon. I will keep her in my prayers!

Emily is lucky to have the parents she has.

johnsae · 09-21-2005, 11:03 AM

oh my goodness - Joey and I are praying for you and Emily. I was sooo scared when our little Joey was in the hospital (he was stepped on by my fiance a few days after we got him). As Joey proved, these little ones are very resilient. Puppy kisses to Emily, get better soon!

Thanks for letting us know what is going on with little Emily. It certainly is true that they can learn where you are going...I couldn't drive down the same street I drove down to go to our vet's office with Muffin even when we went other places. She knew the route! So I would drive another way to go places with her. They are too smart! Wishing Emily all the best...

jenstals · 09-24-2005, 02:28 PM

How is Emily doing? I was thinking about her today!
