Hi, Cano will be 2 in April... We took him into the vet on Friday because we were worried about him not eating. He literally stare at his food and maybe only eat once every day and a half for the past week when he was really hungry. We had blood taken and an x-ray taken yesterday, and the doctor said that his liver is a *little bit* smaller and under a couple ribs lower than normal. She said that she can't tell at this point if he does have shunts, but that it is a possibility. Has anyone gone through an experience with a puppy with shunts? Any advice on this would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks!
