If she has a shunt...the longer it goes untreated the more damage to her liver.

Mortality rate depends on why the seizures are happening.
Death from a seizure itself isn't overly common as far as I know.

It is not hard to diagnose a liver shunt.
If the vet hasn't done a bile acids test, please find a new vet.
If they have, can you post the results?
