I pray you will get good news for your little one. My Lucy has MVD but with BAT numbers low enough that no further testing was recommended . .so I got lucky for now. Hang in there! | |

Clearly it did take a few months...even longer to get money together for the scintigraphy. I recall the original post about Sasha. She has been needing this for some time. I am going to suggest ONE thing to you. IF you are advised that Sasha needs to have surgery, ask the implications if you put it off until summer. And, perhaps it will be good to give an exact month since summer lasts for a few months. I do admire you for wanting to take the best care of Sasha ... I just would be remiss if I did not voice concerns. I do hope that it all goes well for her. I will continue to pray for Sasha.

| She has had a handful of days where she was lethargic and spacey. No seizures though. Do any of your yorkies have LS?

| Sasha had her scintigraphy done today. It definitely looks like a shunt. I guess Dr. Broome doesn't diagnose patients. It says that her shunt fraction is 87%

| glad she had it done how is she doing? Can you send that to dr tobias and get her take on it? I heard dr broome is very good how did you like him and his facility? |

| She is doing great. She's being really playful. I never even saw Dr. Broome. How could I send it to Dr. Tobias? Could you help me? His facility is very, very nice.

| First I need to see if it is operable. Then if it is, she is going to UT to have surgery

Did they give you the scintigraphy on a cd or a paper write up? I would call dr tobias at ut and ask her how to get it to her and maybe he can even email it to her as i think you were going to go to her for surgery so just let her know that and I am sure she will help you also ronlynn on here had the scintigraphy done by broome as well so ask her what percentage teddi had and compare that as well and she had dr tobias do the surgery so i am sure she will help you she is very nice. I am sure it is a single as usually they start with single and teddi was a year or just over when her symptoms kicked in so she had the surgery after one year and was only one shunt. I doubt if she is young it is a multiple and that is the only time it is inoperable Last edited by dwerten; 03-13-2010 at 05:11 AM. | |

i definitely think dr tobias or her assistant will talk to you and maybe you can have dr broome make a copy of info and send to dr tobias - just let her know your plans to go there if it is a shunt | |
