- 11 year old FN Terrier with decreased appetite and weight loss, mild-mod increased liver enzymes
- Normal liver and kidney size, no stones
- It is not fitting with a shunt but I thought I saw an abnormal vessel
- Also could not find reason for weight loss
- Is this vasculature normal?

Prominent blood vessel with
Prominent blood vessel with no real turbulant flow. If worried about a shunt consider doing bile acids.
its an abnormal vbessel but
its an abnormal vbessel but with hepatopedal flow away from the liver. I would be concerned for secondary shunting but there is a rare shunt (name escapes me) that terminates caudally in the cvc near the iliacs and its a funtional shunt. You dont ligate it.
Very interesting, thanks.
