Liver Shunt
This illness involves abnormal blood flow through the liver. The abnormality occurs when blood is shunted around the liver rather than through it, and this bypassing of blood at times can be too much or too little the normal rate. The extent varies with each dog, the severity and the age. Symptoms are dependent upon the extent of the blood flowing through the liver. More severe evident symptoms can include, seizures, vomiting, constipation, increased saliva, increased urination, and in puppies at a few weeks of age; slow growth rates. To properly diagnose this illness, veterinarians must identify and eliminate the shunt. Diagnosis and treatment can include a series of tests including; blood work, ultrasounds, x-rays, and ultimately surgery and can be extensive.
