GOOD MORNING!!!
so happy to wake up to so many responses!!
No i havent had a bile acid test done, but i will look into it. hopefully liver shunt is not the problem, and you said you take your up to a opthamologist,could you give me the number of yours? please!! are they expensive (so i can know how much to save up!!...im only 17!!) | I live in North Carolina so my opthalmologist won't do you any good. You have to have a referral from your vet to see a specialist anyway. I don't think Daisy needs to see one, though. Lady has to see one because she is a diabetic and has eye problems.
How old is Daisy? Has she been spayed yet and had pre op bloodwork done? Sometimes that will show any abnormalities in the liver, but not always. She really should have a bile acids test done so you know if you are dealing with something medical or physical. They are very inexpensive, $40-80 depending on where you live.
You're only 17 and work 48 hour shifts? Is anyone helping you with the expense of having two dogs? That's a lot of responsibility for someone so young. |
