My Oscar showed no other signs of having a liver shunt except that he was small, not a great eater, & had bladder stones at 5 months old. He had LS surgery and bladder stone surgery 3 weeks ago. He is 6 months old and 2.3 lbs. I am wondering if there should be any noticeable improvements in him as the ameroid constrictor closes. I was hoping that I would see some weight gain or growth by now. Is it too early? Thanks.
