Im so sorry that Little Mia's bile acid test came back as possible Liver Shunt. I will say get a second opinion. I haven't going thru this so only you know what is best for your baby. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Also, I agree about getting a 2nd opinion.

My heart goes out to you. We had that scare when Sophie was 2 months old. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree with Jennifer on this. I am sorry Mia has to go through this but they are making great strides with this condition and I am sure she will be fine in the end. I will be thinking of you both.

Ok, our little baby started seizuring yesterday morning at 530am. We took her to the vet and he suspected a low sugar attack. He gave her s shot of reglan and sent us home. They persisted and got worse. Today she had a bad one so we took her to the pet emergency clinic. She was "chopping" with her mouth, foaming and kinda running her legs.

She has been eating great, and we don't even have to give her the nutrical. She eats sooo good.

We got the report back from the vet and she said it could be:

Brain Bleed

Liver Shunt

Epilepse

She is still there and will stay at the pet clinic til monday morning. I talked to a vet and she said that if it's a shunt, she will do the surgery for 500$, i say this b/c we are 2 hours away from houston, in Sulphur Louisiana. I figured you could look into it. She's Doctor Anderson at Bayou South Vet clinic.
