I'm so sorry he's sick. I hope it's just the vaccines that elevated his bile acid levels. Please do extensive research and educate your parents because liver shunt and MVD babies can live normal lives be it through surgery or diet and lactulose with supplements. I hope you don't give up on him. My boy is on lactulose and special food and is doing fine. He's NORMAL. The knowledge that I gained from this site and the Yahoo group for liver shunt/MVD was incredibly helpful, and it made me realize that I could handle whatever there was to come. Giving him medicine twice a day and spending a little more on his food is nothing compared to the love and enjoyment he brings to my life. I'll be praying for Cody, and that your family is lead to make the right decision. I beg you to be educated, informed, and know what your dealing with before you send him back to a rescue
