Yes, he said he would follow up with a BAT as well as an ultrasound if necessary to check for a liver shunt, but he's currently more concerned with Rocco's unfounded urge to urinate. There are no definitive symptoms related to liver shunt right now. Even if there was a liver issue, he cannot at all relate that to the urination urge. Also, since Rocco's eating and drinking and mostly well otherwise, he wants to focus on what's causing his urinition issue since this is the immediate problem.
