OK, hold tight and take a breath
Liver Shunt is NOT a death sentence. What tests have been done so far?
What food and treats does she eat? What 'odd' behaviors does she display???
Being that you are in NY ~ "IF" I had an LS baby - I would bring her to Cornell University Vet Hospital. They, as well as U of Tenn are the LEADERS in LS research. They BOTH do TONS AND TONS of Liver Shunt surgeries per week.
Also, please join this Liver Disease group. They can help guide you and support you and your baby
