He has never had head pressing, seizures, or any other syptoms of shunts.

The options are the Liver biopsy, Scintigraphy or the MRI?

They are sending all the results to VA Tech and refering me there?

What should I have done? I feel like I'm getting no where with the Vets?
I do not think they did a correct Protein C test. The results come back as a % - The Vet MUST send the blood draw overnight to Cornell University (they do the testing). Under 75-80% leans towards Liver Shunt. Above 80% is either MVD or normal.

Is he neutered?
