How terrifying! I am soooo sorry. Your little one is definitely in my thoughts are prayers. Please keep us updated on the status of your little one.

I am so sorry you, Emily, and your family are having to go through this. My Yorkie, Tucker was diagnosed with liver shunt at 6 months, but is 1 1/2 now, and doing well. He did not have to have surgery, and is maintained in a special diet. There is hope, and I'm sure this situation will turn out for the best! I know how you are feeling, and my thought and prayers are with you!! Please keep us posted, I'm very worried about you and Emily

I am only just reading this and I want to add my thoughts and prayers.
There are differing opinions about when the bile acidsalts tests are accurate and dependable. Having the tests done on puppies under 6-12 months is of very little if any benefit as per my vet...
It can sneak up on your baby and break your heart. I so hope you have better news as time goes on..

Hi everyone,
I'm in Auburn as I type Emily is having a diagnositic workup right now. The intern on duty this am is puzzeled by her blood work. Her biles are lower than the normal bile tests, but higher than they should be. She mentioned that is possibly could be hepatic dysplasia, epilepsy, or yes it could be liver shunt. We are praying for the best. I'm at the library right now and not sure when I can re check the web site. Thanks for all your requests for updates. I'll know more this evening.
Hoping & praying!

Glad to hear back from you. I was just thinking about Emily yesterday. I hope everything turns out OK with your tests. We're all still thinking about you.

ldenise · 09-27-2005, 04:39 PM

We are hoping and praying along with you here. It must be awfully stressful for you right now. I will be watching for an update as to how the workup comes out. Good Luck.

We just came home last night with a seeminly healthy dog. Emily stumped the Auburn vet's. Her bloodwork, ultrasound, and neuro testing all showed a normal dog. It's possible we might have a epileptic problem, or a hyrdacepalitus problem. We are not to worry about either at this time. We are going back to life as normal with Emily. NO LIVER SHUNT YEAHHHHH!!!!! We are very happy and relieved at this mystery. Maybe Emily ate something. We'll never know. This website has been a wonderful place. Thanks to you great YTF visitors.

I have been following this thread since your first post- I'm so happy to hear that Emily does not have LS.
Be sure to take her someplace fun this weekend- you and Emily deserve to have some fun after what you have been through!
