He made the diagnosis by examing her head. She has the open fontanel and she has the wobbly walk and she has the dome shape to her head and there are several other signs.


I asked about liver shunt and he didn't think that was it. He also said a liver shunt test would be too much blood loss for her little body being as young as she is. I am calling a second vet today as soon as they are open to find out about a second opinion.
