Default Liver Shunt Confirmed

I am really upset. Joey's sonogram showed an (expatic?) shunt outside his liver. His surgery is next Wednesday. They wanted to put him on Hills l/d, but I dislike that brand for various reasons, so I went to my regular vet who prescribed Royal Canin Hepatic LS. He was also put on lactulose 1 ml twice a day, but this may cause diarrhea. I have no idea how I am going to separate his food from my other Yorkie's since they graze and won't eat a meal in one sitting. I think I will put Joey's food in his crate and maybe he'll eat while I am at work. Please tell me what else I should be doing right now and what to expect after the surgery, recovery time, etc. What treats can he have
