Betty appears to be offline.... MVD Multivascular dysplaysia... symptoms can be the same as Liver Shunt... but no shunt... not operable, treatment with special diet and meds if necessary.. In general, the architecture of the liver is askew and causes it not to function very well.
Small liver is also a sign of shunt... they are hard to see on xray and ultrasound unless the vets are superexperienced in looking for them.
