As with any surgery comes risk but if your baby has liver shunt and it's external I would recommend the surgery. I've heard of many success stories on liver shunt surgeries and they can live normal lives again on normal food again. They use a constricter ring to slowly close the shunt and it is very successful but an expensive surgery but again I would recommend the surgery if in deed the yorkie has the shunt. You can have the vet do a stinigerphy* I can't spell it and it will tell you for sure it's a shunt. That is what I would do first.
I hope this helps.
