Maisie seems much brighter today but we have dropped her off at the vets for the second round of blood tests and she is booked in for a liver scan on Tuesday to confirm one way or another if she does have a liver shunt so everything still crossed but at least the antibiotics seem to have perked her up, it was so good to see her this morning nearer to her old self :blink:

Aw, let's hope she continues to feel better - maybe she just had an infection and the anti-b's are helping her over it. Really hope all goes well on Tuesday and it is not a liver shunt at all.  x

Hi Everyone thank you so much for all your kind thoughts.

Maisie seems brighter in herself but the second blood test show very high bile acid levels so the scan will go ahead tomorrow to check her liver I will let you all know how we get on tomorrow evening.
Thank you all again

Update!!!

Yesterday did not go well, we took Maisie for her scan at 2pm having been told she could have a small breakfast at 7am but then were told the scan was inconclusive because she had eaten.

We now have to take her for another scan booked for next Tuesday, unfortunately at about 8.30pm last night Maisie had what we think was a fit!!!! which was very distressing for her, we raced her to the vet who met us at the surgery and checked her over.

We are now hoping today our vet will get the second scan brought forward to today and we will take her to wherever they tell us to go, we are also trying to contact the breeder that Maisie's previous owner got her from to get some background info on her siblings, unfortunately the breeder is ex directory so depending on how the day unfolds we may take a drive over to Stourport on Severn to see them.

We have never witnessed a dog fit before and I hope we never will again you just feel so useless but we are told this is yet another symptom of a liver shunt so we now feel the scan will in the end only confirm which type of liver shunt Maisie has an internal or external liver shunt in simple terms.

My wife slept all night down stairs with Maisie and it will be my turn tonight until we think she is safe and her medication is sorted.
Thanks Again Michael

Oh Michael

How awful for you and Maisie.  It must have been very frightening for you and Maisie.  Let's hope that your vet can assist in getting the scan brought forward to today.  You don't want to go through hell and wait until Tuesday. 

I've seen a dog fit on TV in Emergency Vets and it is not something anyone would want to watch, especially watching your own dog go through it.

I have both you and your family as well as poor little Maisie in my prayers.  Sending positive thoughts and vibes to all of you.

Sending big hugs, kisses, love and anything else that you may need.  :bigarmhug: :-* :luv:

Love Lizzie and Betsy xxx

Lots of love ... Lizzie

So sorry to hear the scan was inconclusive & sad to hear that she had a fit, must have been awful for you all.
Hopefully they can bring things forward & get things moving  :bigarmhug:
