Terri Shumsky, the champion of the yorkie breed, worked closely with Dr. Tobias....Dr. Tobias found yorkies had a 39% greater chance of LS. But, it is my understanding that Maltese are pretty much up there too.
I had a grooming client that had taken her dog in for a nueter.....her vet contacted her to inform her that he couldn't conduct it because his levels were off. He sent her to a Specialist to conduct further testing. All tests indicated LS. Surgery was performed and when they opened him up, no shunt.
