If everyone can post what they know and recommend for liver shunt so we can make a sticky as this is coming up alot in this breed and we can reference it to knew owners of liver shunt or mvd babies

If no symptoms but bloodwork shows post biles below 100 but over 25 then protein should be limited to 22% in diet and if showing symptoms but less than 100 then 18% protein.

AVMI- Portal Scintigraphy

Gallbladder can contract when doing bile acids thus causing higher numbers

Protein C test and liver biopsy while being spayed or neutered will help determine if mvd or liver shunt.

Usually numbers over 100 post tend to be indicative of liver shunt and below tend to be mvd.

The best person for surgery is dr. Tobias
