You need to do a search on liver shunts on this forum. From what I have read on this forum, there are two types, MVD and external. The external is operable, usually, and your puppy will have a normal life. The BAT results are used as an indicator for what type it might be.
I do think you need to do the research. Time after time, I have seen people recommend the Univ of Tennessee for the surgery. At the very least, I think you need to start thinking specialist.
I am so sorry your puppy is going through all this, I hope things work out well. I really hate that she might have a shunt, as she has been through so much already. Good luck, please keep us updated on her condition. My prayers for you both.
