I am so sorry that your baby is sick, I know that the whole process is scary and exhausting.
Copper's post numbers have all been between 100-120, the next test you should do is a protien C test, which needs to be sent off to Cornell. And then if they think that it is still a shunt then you should have a scintigraphy done. The only issue with an ultrasound is that they can sometimes miss the shunt.
Copper has MVD and responds very well to diet and supplements, the first vet that I saw automatically assumed that higher BA= shunt, which isn't always the case. If we were able to do surgery I would definately make the trip to UT they are really the best, and more affordable than most other places. The care credit that has been mentioned above is really easy to apply for.
