I thought my sophie might have the liver shunt. she doesn't have that, but she does have IBD I had to just find a speicalist on my own to take her to. She was throwing up alot. She would be fine for a fews days and than she would strat throwing up again. She will lick alot and curl her back and shake when she was going to be sick. She is much btter now. If your vet is not sure what to do I would ask him to ref you to a interal speicalist in your area. I was at the vet so many times and getting nowhere with her. It is very upsetting when you can find the answers to their problems. Sohpie got so sick with her IBD that she had to stay in the hospital for 2 nights. Luck for Sophie her speicalist office is a 24 er vet office too. So she was with people she knew. She had been there for a ultra sound and the scope at differant times. It just took me so long to find the answer as to her problems. by the time she got really sick they were pretty sure she had the IBD and were treating her for it and waiting on test to confirm. i feel for you. I know there is a test that they can do for liver shunt. i would ask them to test for panceritis too.
