So sorry to hear about Duke!! If you have any question regarding liver shunt, just ask as we have been through it also. Unfortunately, Miko's was inoperable. Also, I strongly recommend that you join the liver shunt/mvd support group on yahoo groups:
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/L...d_MVD_Support/
The people there are extremely knowledgable and there are a ton of files that you can go through that have a wealth of information. Please join...
