Dr. Tobias of the University of TN. Veterinary Teaching Hospital has an amazing reputation for treating Yorkies with Liver problems.
She is currently conducting some new exciting studies. From what I heard, liver shunt dogs have better treatment options than ever, and they do very well after surgery.
I wish the outlook was a bright for collapsed trachea...Kara |
That is so good to hear. How is your little one after her surgery? Please tell us her story too. We can all learn as there is a lot of confusion about reverse sneezing, kennel cough and collapsed trachea. Your story may help others here. Maybe you could start a new thread about it.
