Dr. Tobias did biopsy the liver when she corrected the shunt and it came back normal. It is a little confusing to me but Lola seems to be doing so well I will just keep her on a low protein diet and she should do fine. It has been explained to me (in very simple terms, so I could understand) that this could be acquired shunting that developed after the ring was put on the large shunt. Apparently, this sort of MVD causes few problems and is easily managed with diet. We'll see. Lola has never had any neurological symptoms of a shunt except for small growth and lethargy, and she has gained weight and is full of energy since her surgery. Keeping her on the low protein diet is easy!
