I am assuming you're talking about surgical correction of portosystemic shunts in dogs. This depends on the nature of the shunt. Some liver shunts are multiple very small vessels ("microvascular") and surgery is not a good option. Some are easily found outside of the liver ("extra-hepatic") and surgery can be a great easy fix, others are "intra- hepatic" and surgery can be more challenging but still the best option. Proper diagnosis of the nature of the liver shunt and patient blood values will help determine your prognosis and success rate. If your dog already is very sick they can have somewhat rocky recoveries vs dogs that are feeling well maintained medically on low protein diets etc..
In a series type ohmmeter, the current passes through the resistance being measured, while in a shunt type ohmmeter, the current is diverted around the resistance being measured. Series type ohmmeters are usually less accurate but simpler, while shunt type ohmmeters are more accurate but more complex.
i heard u can fly on short journeys Yes, you can fly if you have a shunt, however the affects, as far as the pressurized cabin goes will depend on the type of shunt you have. I have a VP shunt in my head and have no trouble flying and I fly often, as I work for an airline.

series and shunt voltage regulators
The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.

Shunt Motor
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor
