I have never seen an LS baby on clavamox. I think Clavamox is for infection??? So I think he is really covering all basis with, but it sounds that he is just not sure. And I really can't comment or give advice about LS or MVD, without knowing the BAT results. And as others stated, a BAT is not conclusive of a shunt, it only shows liver function, more testing needs to be done.
I really recommended taking his advice and seeing a Neurologist. At the speciality hospital, they have all sorts of specialist, so if the Neuro has to consult with an Internal Medicine Specialist, they are all available under one roof.

I agree as clavamox is used usually in uti so that threw me off as well. And the fact that no denamarin recommended for liver support has me thinking they are not quite sure and very curious what those bats are as my gut is they are less than 100 and still neuro related - Since the neuro is 3-5hrs away that is tough so you may want to shedule a consult on the phone before driving all that way and have your vet send all the info and maybe you can email videos so if they feel mri and spinal tap are needed and not liver shunt related you can do all at once first visit.
Let's see what the bats are on monday unless vet is open today and go from there as she really does not seem to be throwing up, etc and she is eating fine all that stuff so seems to be more neurological as food plays a big role in ls dogs
