Thanks, Betty! (Goodness Micah is beautiful!)
I am confused about liver shunt.

I think I understood the vet to imply that it would be an untreatable condition unless we went with very invasive and uncomfortable procedures, making Zoe's quality of life questionable (and life itself, for that matter). But in researching a bit on these boards, it looks like so many live a perfectly normal life with it? I would love some input on this. Thanks so much!
