They're cutting up this puppy today? Do you really think they'll come back and say "oops, no shunt" if they don't find one? Did you get a second opinion on something this big??? I feel bad for the breeder.
I am pretty up to date on Joey and NO I don't feel there is anything fishy going on....Not only does he have a high post BAT, his Protein C test is pretty much border line with an LS reading. The hospital he is going to is a Specialty hospital in the Tri-Stat area, so it isn't a random place just guessing at things....

It would be wonderful if Joey didn't have a shunt or MVD, as then he wouldn't have to endure what he will have to endure for his entire life
