The vet said that many yorkies have liver shunts but not severe enough to show symptoms and some will develop symptoms at a few years old. I'm happy to say that it can be successfully treated.

Thank you for sharing your information..
When you took your Yorkie to the specialist what test did they do to determine a Liver Shunt?
Thanks! Thanks!
