My baby had liver shunt surgery in March and is doing GREAT. The best advice I can give you is to join -
Liver_Shunt_And_MVD_Support : Liver Shunt & MVD/HMD Support
they have more answers and information than anywhere. I feel they helped me save my baby's life when she was sick and diagnosed with liver shunt. I was so scared and knew nothing about this "disease"...she is like a normal little puppy today, so please don't give up hope. Get him on the right diet immediately, get him on lactulose and try to educate yourself about LS as much as you can. The people on the group above are very helpful and experienced; sometimes you have to be persistant with your questions! You are doing a great job so far, what a lucky baby that he has you as a mom and that you've done as much as you have! Please continue to ask questions - that's how we all learn!
