cyndi03 | 05-17-2008 03:04 AM | Liver Biopsy Well, I was going to get Lulu spayed about a month ago but her blood work came back as low glucose & her bile acids are pre 67 & post 28(we ran this test twice as the results are odd). Anyways, our specialist suspects mild-moderate liver disease & suggests that we go ahead with the spay & they'll do a liver biopsy at the same time. I think I'm okay with this as it's a hospital & the surgeon seems to the be the best we could get here in the city. The only problem is that they don't seem to keen on removing the baby teeth as the don't like dealing with the mouth as it can contaminate the blood stream & they don't want to keep her under very long not knowing her liver issues & that she is only 2 lbs. Has anyone else had a liver biopsy done along with getting teeth pulled? I can't imagine putting her under a 2nd time to get teeth done - she would have to keep her double canines for quite sometime...Also, has anyone had a liver biopsy done & are there any risks to the procedure? |
