I am also going to have my vet get me information on a board certified surgeon out here in Texas.
I am also looking into financing the surgery. I am counting down until my stimulus check comes, mid July, and would like to use it to help pay for Paisley's surgery.
On another note...I am going to update Paisley's breeder regarding her being diagnosed with a liver shunt. Any suggestions on what I should expect her to say? Should she be testing Paisley's parents or siblings? Not sure how this all works. The breeder is very nice and has helped me with lots of little things since I have gotten Paisley. I don't blame her for Paisley's condition, but would like to make sure she is being a responsible breeder with knowing Paisley has a liver shunt. |
I am so sorry to hear that there is a shunt, but it sounds like you have caught this early and can be repaired so she can live a normal life.
As far as the breeder goes, you should inform her and she might even have a guarentee in her contract where you may be entitled to some money back towards the Vet bills
