Picked Gamma up from MSAH and got her to Ark and Dr Zach. Low blood glucose and body temp. IV fluids with dextrose and a bear hugger and she is settled in. F***l showed coccidia so meds for that and once she is stable bloodwork to see what that shows…
We are in a wait & see kinda pattern

Dr Hannah admitted Gamma last night to get her on fluids and to get some bloodwork done. The symptoms that she is showing is indicative of Portosystemic Shunt. This is not a good diagnosis especially for such a young and tiny baby. We will know more this morning. I was told someone will call me by 10:00.

This is a brief explanation and Gamma’s would be congenital

The portal vein is a large vein that collects blood from the gastrointestinal system, pancreas, and spleen and carries it into the liver, where toxins and other byproducts are removed. A liver shunt occurs when an abnormal connection persists or forms between the portal vein or one of its branches, and another vein, allowing blood to bypass, or shunt, around the liver.

In the majority of cases, a liver shunt is caused by a birth defect called a congenital portosystemic shunt. In some cases, multiple small shunts form because of severe liver disease such as cirrhosis. These are referred to as acquired portosystemic shunts.

Who we are!!
1) Metairie Humane is a true NO KILL Shelter. If a dog cannot be adopted out, it remains with us as a permanent resident for the rest of its life.

2) Metairie Humane is run by volunteers, so all prizes, grants and donations go directly to dog care.

3) Metairie Humane has no corporate sponsors.

4) Metairie Humane relies on fundraisers, donations, grants, and prizes to fill the significant gap between the costs to care for our dogs and the small adoption fee charged for each dog.
