Liver Shunt would not explain the blood you saw in the stool I don't believe. Did you go to an emergency vet or your regular vet? I have hopes that all is going to be a very easy fix. Please don't be upset until you know. I hate to see you crying

Any word yet? I hope you get good news and not have to go through more than you can handle. Sending prayers your way.

it wasnt her vet but i know she is one of the vets out of 6, she would be my second choice if laceys dr wasnt there. they gave me antibiotics that she has to take once a day for the blood in the stool, but after she started talking about liver shunt i forgot to ask what the slime and blood would be from. i will ask when they call back with the final results for the blood tests they ran. i know she was hypoglysemic and white blood cell count was up and one other thing but i was in shock kind of so i dont remember. oh they also gave her an iv

no news yet i think i am going to call them again thankyou for the prayers

Gastrointestinal upset (diarrhea) can occur with liver shunt.

I would be very surprised if you got the results tonight since they usually send the blood to a lab and it takes 24-48 hours. Maybe they test it in house.

Please try to relax. I know, easier said than done.

scoobiedooiscoo · 11-25-2007, 03:33 PM

they do test in house, but i know she just came off a 8 hour surg when we were there and was behind, she said they would try to get to it tonight and call me.

Heart worms would cause bloody stools and laying around, also parvo. But with parvo the whites of their eyes turn red and they foam at the mouth. Hope your girl turns out ok.

scoobiedooiscoo · 11-25-2007, 04:15 PM

well its liver shunt so that really sucks now what?

pea496 · 11-25-2007, 04:16 PM

My thoughts are with you and Lacey. Hope it is something easy to fix.

girdygirl · 11-25-2007, 04:20 PM

How old is she?

Patti · 11-25-2007, 04:30 PM

What were her test scores? Cali'swere under 100 post and she was diagnosed with a very mild internal liver shunt MVD and requires no treatment. SO hopefully she has a mild case or one that can be treated and she will live a long time. I will keep her in my prayers!!!

Connie · 11-25-2007, 04:52 PM

I hope your baby will be okay and you can find answers to what is wrong. The slime and blood in the stool could mean she has colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. My concern when reading your thread was the dead mouse. If that mouse died from mouse poison, and lacey chewed on the mouse at all, it could get in her system.

I sure hope she recovers quickly from whatever's ailing her!

i didnt ask what the score was but she said stool softners 3 times a day ,antibiotics and special food. i will call the dr that normally takes care of her tomorow and try to pay attention and ask what ever questions i should. this is really really hard on me because last year i lost a baby ( human) that i babysat for and am not all the way over that the only eason i'm not in the nut house from that is because of lacey.
