Univ of tennessee is a great vet school. Dr Karen Tobias will even do phone consults.
We had another person here recently - she is from Ontario Canada - she went there about 1000 miles from us - to get the surgery - all is well with her pup now.
If you do a search on here for Liver Shunt - you will find numerous threads. Many contain pertinent info on diagnosing and treating LS.
Also yahoo has a liver shunt support group.
Best of luck |
If I ever have a dog diagnosed with liver shunt, I will crawl over broken glass, all the way from Texas to Tennessee, to Dr.Tobias, for her help and her corrective surgery! She has trained other vets, but I am not familiar with who they are and where they practice....you may be able to see if she will recommend someone closer to you....
