| say a little prayer for turkey hey everyone my bf countrygirl had a really rough day .. she has a small puppy she calls turkey well she had two vet checks and turkey is the smallest she passed the vet check both times but she just didnt feel right to either of us ... so we ran blood test ..and she has a liver shunt she has a bad one .. and poor amy just lost it at the vets office and started crying the vet said at most 5 months with the signs she is showing and we would have to get her a padded cage for when she go's blind and had fits ....everyone is giving poor amy advice .. at a rapid pace from put her down now to give her a loving home untill the bitter end CG family is telling what right im telling her what i think is right and turkey keeps sleeping in cg's arms ... so they both need some prayers its a sad day in this household

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I'm so sorry. Did she have further tests to determine the severity of the shunt? Is the shunt inoperable? Do a search on this site, there is some good information about liver shunts and treatment, diet, etc.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would definately get a second opinion from a specialist/vet who has a lot of experience with liver shunts, or see if the Univ of Tennessee can review the test results. Their is alot thatcan be done for LS babies. I also would want a more compassionate vet than one who tells you get a padded cage, that seems harsh to me, I will keep them both in my prayers,

| turkey is only 2.1 lbs at 12 weeks old and our vet told us that the device used in the liver shunt surgery is about the size of a nickle ... he said at her size it would be too large and more trauma than help .. he also was honest that with the liver shunt she can bite herself and run into walls that to keep her from injuring herself we needed a padded kennel durring episodes only he also gave us some medicine to give Turkey also
