Yorkieluv thank you very much for explaining liver shunt symptoms. I had a male Yorkie in the 80s who was only 8 years old who died of servere kidney issues (stone blockage) but the vet never mentioned liver shunt so I wonder now after all these years if that's what my little JT had. It was very sad - they even took some of his stone that he passed and sent them to the OSU vet school since this vet never saw a stone like he passed. I forgot after all these years what they called it but it was very rare - the stones instead of being smooth which is painful enough they were spiny which I can only imagine the pain when passing.
Thanks again.
