i know shunts can be common in yorkies.... someone on here had a yorkie with a shunt and they gave it meds and it lived a happy life (from what i remember), but that is the only case i have heard of where they didnt die.... im soooooo sorry about your sick puppy, i know how quick it is to get attached, but if i were you i would contact the person that sold you the pup and see if they can give you a new puppy or compensation on vet bills, again this is only my opinion but i wouldnt keep the sick pup, the prognossis isnt good |
