Discuss on the basis of this examination, you and the veterinarian to the congenital condition called hepatic shunt. In this condition, s the dog's liver can not detoxify the blood because it bypasses. The prognosis is not good, unless the surgery, if possible, resolve the problem.

How do you think you would feel about this situation? Upset? Angry at theBreeders for possibly creating this situation? They worry that the dog could survive?

This happened with my dog Alvin. We were devastated, because we become more attached does, but puppies expressive black eyes.

Further tests and uncertainty
If your vet has no experience with this disease, it is a blood test to verify whether the first blood sample. We did. This time, the liver enzymes were normal. But now the resultshave a positive and a negative test result.

Onward to test for third. Results – elevated liver enzymes again. The veterinarian examined all the results from this lab and discovered the lab had an issue with calibration of equipment.

We insisted on a fourth test with another laboratory. Results – Liver enzymes normal. We could breathe a little easier, with the exception of a few open questions.

How often does this happen?
It must be hundreds of thousands of blood testsevery day for humans and animals. How often are they wrong? When can you trust the results? Even if the error rate is low, stands by you or your pet's health is at stake.

Whether the test is positive or negative, you may still question their validity. Ask for another test by another laboratory. Yes, you have to pay for another test, but it is not worthy of your pet's well being?
