What other testing does your Vet have planned? Have they tested her liver enzymes or talked about bile acid testing? I know the ideal age for this is 16 weeks or older but . . . perhaps a consideration.

I second the idea about seeing a specialist.

Liver shunt does not have to be a death sentence. Lucy has mild MVD (small internal shunting as opposed to a large, external shunt) and we manage her with diet and supplements. She is happy and healthy.
