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! |
great news whew i was worried there --yes acquired shunting is a possibility once corrected but she should be ok
you are a great mom to have taken her there and to stay so informed --good job
