Cali has mild MVD or internal liver shunt. She wnet hypoglycemic several times even when she was 6 months old threw up alot and was a very picky eater, she too was the runt of the litter but has since caught up. She had a weird neurological episdoe where she woke up from a nap and was falling over and was walking like she was on drugs. Putting her legs down real stiffly. I rushed her to the er vet and they weren't sure what was wrong with her but suggested testing for Liver Shunt. Her Bile acid test came back abnormal but not real high 0/93 and the retest was 0/37. So after more tests and ultrasound and liver biopsy 2 specialist they diagnosd her with mild MVD but didn't think any of her problems were caused by it. After coming into heat and having surgery, spaying and biopsies she has been fine, knock on wood, Now she can't get enough to eat and is a pistol! So have faith that this is some weird isolated problem that can be fixed. I know how hard it is to go through all this. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
