You're scaring me. I worried about this earlier when I first found the crystals. I looked up the symptoms of liver shunt and she doesn't have any of them. She's 1 year, 8 months old and she had never had any issues before. She's always been active, eats well (once I stopped feeding her the Royal Canin), and apart from the crystals, no other major issues.
The vet in Mexico told me to buy the U/D food and since I was going to come back to the States, I didn't buy the food over there (customs won't allow it). I bought it at my puppy's vet in the States, but since I didn't have a prescription, I took him the lab results and he didn't tell me anything about testing for a liver shunt. I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what he recommends. The vet in Mexico ruled out a liver issue. I'm really worried.
