any thoughts?
A U/S with Doppler will give the vet much more information; it will show the blood flow to and from the liver and sometimes a shunt can be seen. It is important to have an experienced person doing the U/S, as the liver and shunts can be difficult to find.

One of the best links for LS info: Portosystemic Shunts FAQ

Now may be a good time to go to a specialist and go from there. See if your vet can recommend one in your area or nearby.
