I'll be praying for your baby, and if I were you, I would go ahead and get them both tested just for peace of mind. Some dogs with liver shunts don't show symptoms. If that's not what it is, then do a search for hydrocephalus.
Here is a website that you can go to for more information...It's a liver shunt/mvd support group. Just post your situation, and everyone there is very knowledgable and helpful. Or you can look through the files section and find lots of information there too:

Everything was said here that I was thinking.
