Guest Shermanator Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 So it appears Travel's gallbladder is not functioning properly. We are going in for an ultrasound tomorrow. They don't think her bile is running smoothly. I have no idea what this means. Anyone have a pup with gallbladder issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Are her liver values elevated??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shermanator Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nope. Her liver values are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Humm-not sure why your vet has that concern. I do agree with having an abdominal ultrasound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Did she have a liver function test? Not the traditional liver enzymes. My Topaz's liver enzymes were normal, the function was 10 times out of normal range. She died of liver disease at age 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shermanator Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ultrasound looked good, except for her pancreas. Vet thinks pancreatitis. Blood work will confirm it. I just want her healthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Pancreatitis can stem from taking corticosteroids. Glad everything else looks ok :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
