He has liver damage but what is a liver shunt?

Thanks,
I am not doctor, so I'll say it as simply as possible.
It is an abnormal vein in the liver that cannot properly process things.
MVD is several of these (very small) throughout the liver.
It is a vascular abnormality.

How did your dog get liver damage?
What is the dagnosis and what are the symptoms?
