Cali was diagnosed with a mile unternal Liver shunt at 8 months of age. Sh3 had been a very finicky eater, went hypoglycemic 3 times and threw up more than normal etc. She had the Bile Acid tests done 2 times and both were elevated. Then they did an ultrasound which didn't show anything so then they did a liver biopsy which showed a mild internal, liver shunt. They did not feel it needed to be treated but I watch her protein intake. They also didn't feel like her medical issues were related to it. SHe is now 14 months old and doing well and almost 5 lbs. Hopefully Henry's BA tests will be normal. The Er vet said that other things like an infection stomache problems can throw off the liver tests so hopefully he will be fine. Keep us posted.
