Hi Paula! Those numbers do seem to point more towards MVD than an extrahepatic liver shunt. If you're going to do further testing, I would definitely have those tests done with the specialist rather than with your regular vet. The l/d sounds like a good idea, you might try the canned also, as the canned does not contain ethoxyquin.
Milk thistle is an all natural supplement that would be helpful. It can't hurt even if it's not the gallbladder or liver. In fact, the antioxidants in it help to protect the liver and will actually help with the already damaged parts if the problem is in the liver.
Praying for your baby, Otis!
