I have 1 yorkie that had a liver shunt .. it was discovered when i took him to be neutered and his bile acid came back high..my vet suspected a liver shunt and sent me to a surgeon.. they did an ultrasound to make sure it was a liver shunt.. seems that is better than exploratory surgery... my baby then had the surgery.. he is great now..
