My vet was shocked. Now, I will say that Teddy was not as bad as Tibbe in that he was not at the vet with constant issues. I do think that general vets often miss these things.
One of the specialists told me that finding shunts like this is very common. I always thought their liver enzymes would show something, but not so.
