Sorry I forgot to answer you before. It is very unlikely that she has liver shunt being that she is 7 years old. She did have bloodwork done, but not a bile acid test because I'm pretty positive (as well as the vet) that that's not what it is. Her liver and all other blood test issues looked good. Thanks for your help though
I think we're on the right track w/ controlling them w/ Pheno...
