I know that some of you have babies with shunts and was wondering how they are and if it has impacted their quality of life?
Also my Chloe is from the same bloodlines as Sam. I did some inquiring and was told that their mothers are half sisters by sire........was hoping some of you with breeding backgrounds would be able to tell me if this is a concern??
We are going to have her tested just as soon as things calm down. But for now I am so scared for our little Sam~ |
Well, I'm glad you found a diagnosis, that's half the battle, I don't know much about this, it does seem that I've read that some do quite well on certain kinds of shunts. I do think you will have better luck finding an answer if you make a new thread, so many people only read the first post of a thread. Best of luck with your babies.
