Default omg another one?

Be very careful with this. A few things I've seen lately are making me wonder if liver shunt surgery is some new fad or something. Seems like a Yorkie only needs to sneeze and diagnosis is automatically liver shunt. Sorry, it's alarming and I'm reading good stuff that suggests that a lot of Yorkies live just fine with their shunts and MVD, and some with slightly elevated bile acid have no liver disease at all, sometime the high biles are due to some minor little intestinal disturbance. READ UP ON THIS AND BE CAREFUL
