My dee dee was hi at 54 and 74 post but i opted not to do liver scan ( the best test for determining liver shunt vs ultra sound) she is not having signs of liver shunt and she is 3 years old almost. I was scared too. I have her on prescription hills salmon and potato which is 18% protein - I have not done supplements but milk thistle and sam-e are suppose to be very good

Just to explain the liver scan which costs $300 and their are only a few specialists who do it but the center is an hour away from me - they put a radio active dye as an enema with no sedation and they take 100's of pictures as the dye is going through the body and they can tell if it bypasses the liver or goes the normal path so this is a more accurate test than an ultra sound which may be harder to see.

Hope this helps
