general question on liver shunt symptoms... what are the signs of liver shunt? i know it has something to do with the way they process protien (as in they can't) but thats about all i know can a puppy w/liver shunt seem healthy but have issues w/diarhhea and/or blood mixed in w/it? sorry to ask... but snickers is (still) not any better i am trying to figure out appropriate questions to ask the vet when i talk with her again and wondered if this was a possibility.. thanks everyone for putting up with my (thousands) of questions at this point i am just trying to figure stuff out... my vet seems really qualified and i suppose it could still be the giardia/coccidia and colitis and she may just need another round of meds but i am trying to make sure we arent leaving anything out thanks! |

Hope everything turns out okay. University of TN does a lot of work with liver shunt dogs. Doctor Tobias is very well respected for her work with shunt dogs. The surgery has an excellent success rate. Also there is a Yahoo forum with a nice Liver Shunt support group... you might want to look to them for advise. Best Wishes, Kara |
