Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I am so sorry that it is a Yorkie health crisis that brings you here, but want to assure you that you will find lots of information, friends and support here.

I cannot answer your question about Tufts, but am sure you will soon be getting more help from members who know.

My Yorkie Tiki (9 months old), is "liver challenged" too, although we believe she most likely has microvascular dysplasia (MVD) rather than a shunt. The members here with years of experience in dealing with liver disease have been incredibly helpful in leading me thru the diagnosis process, and in selecting the best diet and supplements for her case. If you search under "Liver Disease" you will see my thread, and many others who are dealing with the same.

What is your puppy's name and age? You will both be in my prayers.
