SOO SAD...I am just really really torn and upset about this...

She definitely has something wrong with her...liver shunts or a neurological problem!!!

If it's liver shunts, I can not afford the surgery as the vet estimated anywhere between 5 to 7 THOUSAND due to her size....and there's a low chance of survival.

If it's neurological...there is a chance she can still live a healthy life...but walking with an imbalance

The man I bought her from....is willing to give me back my money if I return her to him

I am sooooo torn....what should I DO??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?
First of all have your doctor tell you what it is. Liver Shunt is common but there are so many other things other than LS that could be wrong, so it may not be the worst. Listen to your doctor or get a referral to another good doctor in your area.
If you give Rio back to the man he will most likely put her down. See what the story with her is before you make any decisions.

Good Luck and God Bless.
