I have really terrible news

I use "gmail" for my email, and there is an archive button. I remembered that my dad had emailed me the numbers when we found out about it.
Here is what he had said:

"I called Dr. Crouch. He got the lab results back. Muffy definitely has a liver problem. The normal reading on an empty stomach is 7 or less. Muffy's was 15. They fed her and tested her again. After food, the normal reading is 15 or less. Muffy's was 140!"

So it looks like she most likely does have a liver shunt.
