Oh Myriam I am so sorry to hear that you are going thru this girl, I know how much you love your Royce. Girl get the tests done first asap and take it from there as to the degree of it. Think Positive and Pray alot. You know I am here for you if there is anything you need at all.

JCarlson2004 · 01-30-2007, 06:57 AM

Sending prayers and hugs for you and Royce.

DianeW · 01-30-2007, 10:22 AM

Sorry your baby is poorly sick - hope you get good news, and this works out for you all.

doortego · 01-30-2007, 10:36 AM

Praying that this will not turn out to be as serious as you are now worried about. Please keep us updated.

TootiesMom · 01-30-2007, 10:43 AM

Dont panic, yet! I did when Tooties enzymes were high, but he had all the tests and he is fine. No special diet as of now. I just have to have him tested every 3 months but he shows no signs of any problems...
Good Luck to you and your baby!
Donna

awww....I don't know much about liver shunts. I hope its not that. I'll pray for you guys!

Chrissy0277 · 01-30-2007, 11:06 AM

An internal shunt is not a death sentance. It can be controlled by diet and I know several dogs that are doing very well on the proper diet. I strongly suggest you join this yahoo group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/L...d_MVD_Support/
There are alot of very knowledgable people on that group and several of them are dealing with what you may be possibly dealing with (I pray not)
None of my dogs have LS and Im a member of that group, just to learn all I can about this disease and hopefully help others who are dealing with it. Its a very welcoming group.

furbabyluv · 02-24-2007, 06:43 AM

please keep me posted on what you find out..i am going through the same thing right now..my baby's bile acid came back elevated but not over 100 so we know something is wrong but not sure what. hope everything turns out ok for you!

Yorkieluv · 02-24-2007, 07:44 AM

Any updates?? Praying that your baby's doing well!

RLC12345678 · 02-24-2007, 08:13 AM

I'm still praying for Royce, too. Any updates??

myriamha · 02-24-2007, 08:32 AM

I took Royce 2 weeks ago to the vet campus in Montreal, they run a whole bunch of tests and did an ultrasound as well :
As per the ultrasound Royce doesnt have an external or internal shunt however they didnt rule out Microvascular Dysplasia ( MVD ), he alsohas a bladder stone
As per Urinalysis and blood test results : Royce has a minor renal insufficiency and MVD is not ruled out yet as his liver enzymes are slightly high.

At the vet school they recommended that Royce has surgery to remove the baldder stone and to do the kidney and liver biopsies ....
My vet who is terrific suggested that we wait and redo the tests in 2 weeks to see if there is any change in the values ...if they went back to normall no need to worry, if the values still the same wait another month and redo the blood tests ...if the values ( Bun, creatinine and alt for liver enzymes ) are higher then he will proceed with the biopsies ...
Thank you for asking about Royce

yorkieaddict · 02-24-2007, 08:39 AM

I hope all is well with Royce. Sounds like you have a great vet and doing the right things for Royce. Good Luck!

tangobango · 02-24-2007, 10:04 AM

Sounds like pretty good news. Surgeons fix things by surgery. If Royce is doing well I'd hold off, too. Your vets caution shows good medicine.

Deezy · 03-20-2007, 04:56 PM

Your email looks just like mine the other day. I could not stop crying. How is your baby? I go for a Nuclear Scan tomorrow and if my Yorkie, Little Boy Mickey, has to have some liver problem, I heard that Microvascular Dysplasia was the least problematic. It can be controlled by diet or you can do nothing if the dog shows no signs. I hope all is well. Prayers to you and your baby.
