I have seen also a dog on here that scintigraphy was positive for shunt and the dog did not have a shunt and tobias did the surgery and spay and i believe she did the scintigraphy but i do think that test is more accurate as they send a dye capsule through to see if it bypasses the liver so you are correct not all tests are 100% accurate as there are so many variables all we can do is try to invest our money in the ones we feel are going to give us the most answers.
