Default Liver Shunt (MVD) Help

My puppy Maxx is 7.2 lbs and is showing no symptoms at 6 months we brought him to go get check up and blood work for neutering and baby teeth removal. He was tested and a little high enzymes and bile acids so we went to go get an ultrasound and couldnt find anything and has a big liver. WE went back and the doc wanted him to be put on the low protein food hepatic food and vitamin so we did that and his enzymes were good and liver bile imrpoved to be ok. It seemed to me the doc was scared and had to verify with the specialist if it was ok. Should I be alarmed. Also What anestesia precautions need to be made. The specialist just recentally told us that it could be MVD. I was freaked out and wondered if should get neutered. I dont want anything to happen to my baby. What precautions do you think I need to make sure is made. I guess I am glad doc was precautious so I could change his diet. Any advise is well needed.
