To Test Or Not To Test Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: ky Posts: 197 To Test Or Not To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK i feel i am in a dilema i have my puppies scheduled to be shunt tested ok now her is my problem i have held off giving puppy shot's and they are now 11 .5 week's old after reading dr center's recommendation of this Serum Bile Acids are also helpful in the making a more definitive overall picture in diagnosing the presence of a Liver Shunt and is usually taken when the blood work is indicative there is a shunt present. It is possible to test the Bile Acids in young puppies. However, unless the puppy is showing apparent signs of PSS a Bile Acid Test can throw false readings. It is recommended an apparently healthy puppy be a minimum of two pounds and 6 to 9 months old to test the Bile Acids accurately. what do you do we have parvo going around in our area and i am scared to death and need to get there shot's started one of the pup's is under 2 pounds and the other is just over 2 but my problem is that they said 6 to 9 months is best i want to get my shots started that you can get false readings on a younger pup so what do you do if all these people want a 12 to 16 week old puppies and want the breeder to do a test how do you win and which way do you go please advise |
Are you saying you have a litter of pups you are going to sell and you were going to have tehm all tested for liver shunt? Why? Are there other dogs in your lines that have liver shunts? Is this your first litter? Are the puppies showing symptoms? |

I would ask Admin to move this to the breeder section where I think you will get more responses instead of the sick/injured section. |
