Question Liver Shunts?

Our little 3 yo yorkie has had issues for some time now with throwing up. Usually occurs on weekends when the vet is closed Our first vet back in NC thought it was pancreatitis and treated her with amoxicillin + reglan which seemed to help, but didn't completely cure it. Our new vet here seems to think her symptoms are from a liver shunt. Yesterday we took her for a walk which she gets really excited about and when we got home she started acting funny.....throwing up.....then falling all over the place and contorting....I believe it was seizures. She had 2 of them. I have never been so scared in my life. She seems okay today so far, but I can tell she is really tired. The vet here wants us to take her for a scan. The scan is $420.....My question is for those who may have had it done, if she requires surgery how much in general does it cost?
