Thanks and and advice will be greatly appreciated. Before yesterday no problems. She has a great appetite, energy, no head rubbing, no diarrhea, normal bowel movements, she has gained 5 ounces in 2 weeks. Yesterday her weight was 1.9 pounds. She did receive her second round of shots 2 weeks ago.  |
You should join the Liver Shunt and MVD group on yahoo. I personally had a bad experience with that group BUT they are helpful and give great advice. I would recommend you do the BAT again in about a month. From what I know, anything under 100 pre/post is most likely MVD, which, like Dwerten said, can be treated. She has MVD babies so I'm sure she could give you great advice.
