A dog having seizures from Liver shunt can safely be given an enema containing Lactulose to slow or stop the seizures. I would have a necropsy done and check into this further. Diazepam is regularly given to dogs to stop seizures, but dogs with suspected LS, of a breed known to have problems with anesthesias and preop drugs, (with or without a Shunt disorder), would require a different Treatment Plan altogether.
So very sorry for your loss.
