Pruritus possibly associated with a portosystemic shunt in a bichon frise puppy.

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: A bichon frise puppy was presented with generalized pruritus. At 22 weeks, a portosystemic shunt was diagnosed. Correction of the shunt led to resolution of the pruritus. Pruritus associated with hepatobiliary disease is well documented in humans; this case suggests that hepatobiliary disease may be associated with pruritus in dogs.
