hi im janis sorry i havent posted in quite sometime but ive had computer problems and had other things going on in my life, such as getting remarried lol well anyway i also lost my link but today recieved an email with the link to this group again and i remembered my password so here i am, id just like to say i hope your little girl is ok you didnt mention about her eating habits yes livershunt is a possibility for the loss of balence but usually it is acompanied with seizures and bad eating habits and lack of growth millie my yorkie bitch was 3 in december and when she was 3 months old we discovered she had problems with her balance and eating and a few other things which my vet initially was treating her for worm infestation as here in theuk livershunt in yorkies was virtually unknown but after getting no results from the worming tablets i began to trawl the net for my own solution and found the livershunt.com site and i spoke with a lot of members there mary ellizabeth was a great help and recomended me asking my vet to have blood work done which once i discussed with him the posibility of a shunt he was amazed i knew so much about it lol but the symptoms were right just reading the stories on that site made me realise just what was the matter with millie and i was devastated but we managed to get the money together in the family and we paid for millie to have the shunt operated on and it was a great success today millie is a fit and cheekly loveable little tyke she bullies her brothers and knows she is lucky to be here and has proven to us time and time again with her love and affection that she was worth every penny it isnt a cheap operation but it saves their lives so i hope that you get your little one checked out livershunt can also be managed for a time with diet but its recomended that you have them operated on if it is the operable shunt there is a shunt that is in opperable these are treated with diet there are other problems that have these symptoms also that have nothing to do with a shunt so it is best to get her to the vet and get her blood work done look at her diet and hopefully for your own peace of mind give you a happier outlook for your lttle ones to play happily with you without falling over hope this helps try
