Well, I don't know what I would do. The Protein C test is a good indicator but not 100% accurate. The ultrasound depends on the doctore and it can be misread, so this alone can't rule out shunt. Bile acids can be below 100 for shun and above for MVD sometimes, so that doesn't rule anything out.
I guess if the doctors at Madison are sure that it is MVD then I would just go with that, especially if the vets think the biopsy could hurt her in the long run.
Have they considered doing a scintography or portogram?
