I am so sorry you, Emily, and your family are having to go through this. My Yorkie, Tucker was diagnosed with liver shunt at 6 months, but is 1 1/2 now, and doing well. He did not have to have surgery, and is maintained in a special diet. There is hope, and I'm sure this situation will turn out for the best! I know how you are feeling, and my thought and prayers are with you!! Please keep us posted, I'm very worried about you and Emily |
