| Waiting for news... Toby my 9 mo old yorkie -poo has never been a food lover... But I finally had enough last month and made more of a fuss about it to our vet. So full geriatric blood panel showed slightly elevated liver count70? and he hadn't gained any weight. So they put him on royal canin gastro for a month. Recheck this week showed no weight gain. So they repeated the panel and the levels were slightly higher again 80? So he went in for the BAT and an ultrasound... Waiting on results.... I'm fairly convinced ( from what ive read here )that it will show he has a shunt. But hoping that they will be small? Or at least easily treatable... Oh my little Toby boy!!! |

| Your pup is adorable. I'm so sorry to hear this may be something more difficult to address than just changing food. Sending you a hug and prayers for your baby.

| Thank you Hi everyone. Thank you for your prayers and support. The ultrasound found no signs of a shunt and no signs of any related symptoms! So that is good. Now waiting for the bat results. Vet called me today while I was at work and unfortunately every time I had a chance to call back she was with a patient... I'll be trying to call first thing tomorrow. It's amazing how quick lab results come back when ur not human lol |

| Hi everyone. Finally got ahold of our vet. They are so awesome! BAT was 29? So slightly elevated. So no obvious signs of a shunt. But something isn't quite right either... She is going to talk to a internal specialist and get back to me this week re options and where to go from here... Still waiting to do his neuter but none of us are in a huge hurry for that. Thanks again for all your support and well wishes. We appreciate it! -Toby's worried mom |
