Could be MVD or could be a shunt. Ultra sounds are only about 60% accurate and the person doing it has to be very skilled at reading a U/S.
Also, a U/S will NOT show MVD, rather a Liver Biopsy done during spay can be taken and tested for MVD. A shunt can be seen on a U/S or it can not, as it is only about 60% accurate in seeing a shunt.
Since you are in FL, I would consider looking into the U of Tenn, as they are the BEST in shunt/MVD care.
Also, if it is MVD, it can only be maintained thru diet and supplements.
I am not a fan of Banfield and I would suggest looking for a different Vet, only that has experience with Small Breeds and Liver Shunts/MVD. |
