gave me the option to do a needle biopsy through his body without opening him or opening and looking for a shunt, which might have required a portagram or contrast study of the liver if no shunt was found. I opted for the full exploratory surgery for a
definitive answer. Sure enough, they found a SHUNT!! Thank God. He now has a
constrictor ring and hopefully, he will live a long and healthy life.
The vet said he was eating L/D for them, but he's not eating much for me at home.
I've ordered the Royal Canin Hepatic but it's very hard to get.
I'll check out Ronlynn's story.
Thanks again,

So happy hear the little fella made it through surgery.
You can homecook for him if he doesn't like the dog food
