Although I have no idea, I doubt she has an intrahepatic shunt, as they are really more common in larger breed dogs. She could very well have MVD though.
I would insist on the BAT and I would get a referral for a Specialist at this point.  |
Yes, our vet did x-rays and ultrasound for shunt and did not see evidence of one from viewing. I do not know why he has chose not to do the BAT's, but I will ask (he has been out of town this week). Thanks for your thoughts.
