tests I do not agree with the vet...the test levels are no where near liver shunt levels. I think he has petite mal seizure disorder. If he is normal at other times, eats well, not skinny, no balance problems, lots of energy and plays..it is very doubtful he has a liver problem. I would put him on a med for epilpsy and see if he has any more problems..best wishes |
I think those numbers are too low also for MVD or liver shunt. My yorkie had a pre of 7 and a post of 67 and was also diagnosed at the University of Tennesse as MVD. They are terrific there. |
It really sounds like your baby has something else that is causing the slightly elevated liver enzymes...They just don't sound that high to me. I'll pray for your sister's yorkie!! |
Thanks. I talked again with my sister and she filled me in a little more the vet said that it is probably not his liver but wants her to take him to the specialist in town for more tests just to make sure. Because if he happens to need surgery, which they don't think he will, he'll be able to handle it better now then if it shows back up in a few years. He's a pretty active dog and she has never said that he doesn't eat properly. He is about 10 pounds I think he looks healthy but he is a little skinnier he just has a very long torso/body. My mom calls him the weiner Yorkie. Haha. |
LS Of course, anyone must do what they feel is best for the dog, I respect the freedom of choice. A 10 pound, active Yorkie does not have liver shunt and if your sister has the money to prove it, then I wish her all the best news and results. |
