Dear Stephanie,
I am sorry to hear of Emma's diagnosis. I'm assuming your vet made this via
protein levels in her blood. To confirm the diagnosis they need to do a
bile acid test and then a special dye xray to determine where the shunt in
the liver is. I had a puppy in my first litter with PSS and
Hi Stephanie, I thought about replying to your first questions about
seizures as my first Berner had a portosystemic shunt and had seizures. It
didn't sound quite the same, but now it sounds like it may be. There is
much hope and time for decisions! The meds will help, the diet change will
help.
Hello. First I would like to begin by thanking everyone who replied to my
berners and seizures posting. I took Emma to the vet today for her blood
work,ect... and I just received a phone call saying that she has
Portosystemic Shunt. This answers a lot of questions about her urinary tract
infections
