The Nation's premier "Grande Dame" in liver shunts and liver shunt research and liver shunt surgery is Dr.Karen Tobias, DVM, University of Tennesee! I am thrilled you say you have reasonable access to the University of Tn! THAT is wonderful news for you, especially if your baby does have a shunt! I would advise you to contact her, and go from there. You will be getting the very best advise from the most educated person in this disease, in this country! Good luck to you with this.....you will have all kinds of advise, suggestions, etc....you stick with the professionals and the advise and suggestions you get from them, and you will be less confused and fraught with feelings of confusion and dispair. |
