Donating YT 10K Club Member | So the bile acid test has not been done? Blindness is one or both eyes is a liver shunt symptom as are the others you mentioned. A friend's dog was the first I'd heard of blindness. Fortunately this is a temporary problem. Portosystemic Shunts FAQ Best wishes to Bella

Blindness can also be caused by encephalitis. My guess is that everything might not be pointing to a liver shunt....the vet has a full blood panel I am sure.

| MRI hasn't been done yet and we're waiting out on the steroids until the bile acid test comes in tomorrow. Our nearest neurological specialist is 3.5 hours away and I just got off the phone with them to see how much a MRI would be. They stated $3500-$3700 and with a spinal tap it would be in the high in. There was another place I had called yesterday which is about 5 hours away from here who stated it would be $1800-$2700. All we need now is a referral for the MRI after we get our test results tomorrow. I feel like this its urgent to rush Bella in to do a MRI but it seems like everything is taking so slow. I've also been wanting to get a video of her on youtube for you all to see. I just need to get around to it. It's been so stressful. Thanks for all your prayers too. |
