Sorry to hear of Cruz's health issues. My Cali has a very mild case of MVD. Her Bile Acids were something like 0/45 and 0/78. After an ultrasound showed no external shunt I had a liver biopsy done when she was spayed. The biopsy showed a very mild case of MVD that required no treatment other than I keep her on a low protein diet. Cali was 8 months old when she was diagnosed. She's now 7 years old. Her vet does yearly blood work which has been good and treats her as liver compromised for any surgeries or medicines she has. As a puppy Cali was a terrible eater and had several episodes of hypoglycemia so they tested her for a liver shunt. She never had any seizures. I hope you can get some answers from the ultrasound. I would have the specialist test for seizure disorders too. Good luck and keep us posted. I will keep Cruz in my prayers.
