I'm sorry - that must be so scary for you -

there is a Liver Shunt website that has information to read and you could write them for help finding a good vet -

Fanny Mae Liver Shunt Fund was started in memory of Terri Shumsky's Yorkshire Terrier puppy, Fanny Mae, born and died of liver shunt in l986. This fund is now known as The Original Terri Shumsky Fanny Mae Liver Shunt Fund

OMG I'm praying for your baby. Stay calm, being stressed out won't help him at all. I know it's hard, but he feeds on your emotions.

"Dear Lord, bless this little angel; guide his human to find the best veterinary care availalbe. Please do not take this baby from his family. Father, you are the divine healer. Place your loving hand on this baby and lead his owner to do the best possible for him. We love you, we trust in you and we believe in you. Amen."

Franco Andres · 10-16-2006, 05:27 PM

Can somebody help me in what levels do i need to check in a blood test? What type of blood test the vet need to do for check livershunt? I spent $634 on Franco and they dont know anything, they just give him metronidazole because one vet think my dog have a stomach infection, other tell me my dog is a experiment and i need to be prepare for everything, and other tell me is just a seizure and inject him iv and a lot of nutrical.??????????? My conclusion is that they dont know too much of small breeds like yorkies.

Please try to find one of the vets listed and take Franco to see one of them. Also try the diet that Lacy's Mom listed. Please keep us upated. I'll keep little Franco in my prayers.

Lacy's Mom · 10-17-2006, 11:51 AM

I found a breeder in Puerto Rico - Parkside Yorkies since 1986. I am sure they can help you.

pksdbox@coqui.net

On the diet, add warm water before serving.

Dorianyorkie · 10-17-2006, 11:53 AM

Did you ask the breeder if he/she knows a good vet. Also if this problem ever happened in her line?
