I just found out that my 3 1/2 year old yorkie has a liver shunt. Her liver is TINY. The doctor said that surgery may not solve her problem, that she was born with it and surgery may even make it worse, but all my research shows that surgery is the only way for her to live a long healthy life. She said that her life expectancy will be shorter, but didn't give me any details. Any experience with this? Is surgery the best option? Also, any diet tips? She won't eat the cans the doctor sent home with us. She's my baby! |
