[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 999497, member: 5106"] Nikki's ultra sound at the CARE centre in Calgary yesterday did reveal that she has a Congenital portosystemic extrahepatic shunt which means she has had it since birth and it is considered a birth defect and can be hereditary . After doing significant reading different studies about it , all the signs have been there since she was a puppy but were missed because of her FH problems . She is scheduled for surgery on March 21st , the procedure Dr Connery will be doing is the Cellophane banding of CPSS . BTW if you think your pet is acting off and are concerned, or if you are getting a procedure done and ask for blood work make sure you ask for a bile acid work up as well as that is not a standard test . It will alert them and you if your dogs liver is working properly . We greatly appreciate the continued prayers for Nikki as this is a risky procedure ,but we hope and pray it is the right decision for her to have a long and healthy life with us . For anyone interested in doing some "light" reading ;-) here is the latest study that I could find about portosystemic shunts .
