I have a 5 week old yorkie. Since birth, he has had white bowel movements. I have spoken with his vet who thought it may be liver shunt. The very first symptoms occurred yesterday. He and his brothers were out playing and all of a sudden he started falling and his head was swaying back and forth. I put him back into bed and in a few minutes all problems stopped.

Just now I was taking in some food for the babies and he was flailing on the ground. He could not even get up but he did eat. About 5 minutes after that he appeared fine.

He still has totally white stool and his urine is very yellow.

I have a vet appt at 5:30 today so can someone please advise me what could be wrong.
