 The outcome of Penny's liver shunt surgery
Hi everyone - I just wanted to let you know that we took Penny to UT for her surgery, which was performed on Friday. Everything went well during surgery, it was a liver shunt. They said her liver was very small. They were able to spay her while she was there. Her temperature stayed constant throughout the surgery and she came out of the anesthesia quickly. We received updates every few hours. They said Penny did amazingly great. We received the news that Penny had a heart attack while in recovery. They were cleaning out her IV tube which had started to leak some fluids - this is a normal procedure. Penny did not make it. We are devastated, as our lives were all about Penny. It is just so sad that she did so well in surgery and they expected her to come home to us and be healthy. I just wanted to let everyone know. We will miss her and maybe one day we will get another Yorkie.
