I don't think any tests are conclusive, especially at such a young age.
I know the luxating patella & treachea problems can still develop but I'm not sure about the shunt. It's a birth defect so I would think the bile acid would show... but I'm not really sure about it. Any one know?
When I took Jen in for her check up I was told the vet can pop both her knees and we need to keep a close eye on her - The breeder didn't know about it and it's not indicated on medical chart from the breeder's vet.
