The Vet performed some type of liver test and said that it came back normal. They said that to get her tested for liver shunt, I need to take her to our regular Vet. What are symptoms of liver shunt? She eats fine, she doesn't act dizzy after eating, she has never had diarrhea or vomited. She seems healthy, other than her episode yesterday.
