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 believe the vet said the clavamox was for the build up of bacteria because her liver wasn't passing the toxins through (I think).
The referral for the neurologist is to get an ultrasound and maybe xrays to see if it was because of a single blood vessel (which Bella can have surgery to tie it off) or if it was multiple little blood vessels (which we can't do anything about).
