My surgeon said that a lot of times on these lower BA scores it is indicative of MVD rather than a external Liver shunt. Also intestinal problems can cause elevated BA so I would have them redone if symptoms continue. Hopefully that's all it was. You can do a search of Liver shunt on here and get some good websites. I don't know how to post the links but this should get you the info you need. |
Thank you so very much! You have given me a glimmer of hope! I just needed a little! When I'm sure she is over her intestinal "stuff", I'll have her tested again. She just doesn't act sick... By the way, your Cali is stunning! I'm still trying to figure out how to use this site. I'll spend some time looking for the shunt info you mentioned. Maybe I can figure out how to get a picture of my little Princess on here. Thanks again! Leslie
