i just read this post and now im extremely worried. both my yorkies show signs of "head pressing" =( my oldest yorkie who is 2 likes to rub his face on carpets. there are no carpets/rugs around my house except the playroom. when he gets the chance to go into the playroom he always like to rub his body and face into the carpet. i always thought it was because he has an itch and he's trying to scratch it. i sometimes see him rub his face along the couch (again i thought he's rubbing his eyes or something).. my lil one who just turned one does something different. she sometimes rubs her head onto pillows as if she's trying to take something off her head. are these definite signs of liver shunt? is it curable? and is this life threatening? |
