Another update:
We finally got all the quotes and it's not looking good! We have to drive 8 hours to see a specialist and spend $2300.00 JUST to find out what's going on with his liver. Our vet here thinks it's a shunt and if that's what it is the surgery is 5500.00+ to fix it. We have NO idea what to do...It's so hard!! ![]() We have to do something soon here because he's getting very skinny!! Even tho he still acts and plays like hes fine. |

Would they do an exploratory without the diagnostics beforehand? (if surgery is an option, that is)

I'm so sorry. I hope you can come on some answers that will be workable. Liver disease sucks. I've had three dogs with it. Two old, one only 4. Sending loads of vibes.
