The shunts do not always show up in an ultrasound, A scintigraphy usually will show a shunt. If it is a Portosystemic surgery can correct it, if it is MVD it is controlled by diet. The surgery is costly, but the dog does go on to live a normal life after it. I doubt the breeder will do anything about the pups, and will probably continue to breed the pair and keep selling these puppies that will cause heart ache among people who buy them. |
