Liver shunts in dogs occur when veins that usually carry blood to the liver bypass the organ via an abnormal vessel. They can be tricky to deal with and cause some serious health issues if left untreated. Some of our canine companions are born with them, and others develop them later in life.
The symptoms of liver shunts can vary widely, and early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving the quality of life and lifespan of affected dogs.
