My Cali was diagnosed with a very mild internal liver shunt or MVD. She needs no special treatment other than I try and keep her on a lower protein diet. There have been quite a few people on here with LS dogs that had surgery and have done fine or just needed special diet and medicine. Hopefully the vet took the blood to do a Bile Acid test. If you use the search function on here you should find a lot of info on shunts. Good luck and keep us posted.
