Interesting. I thought liver shunt was something that could be triggered late in life, but you are saying that puppies can immediately exhibit it?
Do these results suggest anything, like linked genes, or that environment is likely a big factor?
What other breeds suffer from liver shunt?
Also, for the breeders: since many of you stay in touch long term with your buyers, do you get notified and keep records if a dog develops this condition (or something else)?
