How old was this pup when you sold it? I hope everything works out for you.
In regards to shunt, if you do the scintgraphy (mispelled)...and it shows a shunt then it's more than likely a shunt. You can't go on BATS alone, further testing is involved. The less evasive way is the Protein C test and then the dye...which is more accurate than a sonogram. There are good vets out there! I have two wonderful vets in my area that I would trust to the fullest!!
