Ok i wont go into details, but my yorkie is being tested (lots of different things) they think its a liver shunt. It causes her to have seizures and she is on 3 different meds for it. Now she still gets them, id say average about 3-4 a week, TO MY KNOWLEDGE OF COURSE (not home all the time). If she cant have the liver shunt removed (if thats what it is) will having seizure 3-4 times kill her young and quickly possibly? I hear about people with 8 year old yorkies that have seizures everyday. Im just wondering life expectancy if the seizures wont get COMPLETELY under control. Thanks a bunch, remember, were getting her tested so all i want to know is if seizures alone 3-4 times a week could kill her very young. She is currently 2. THANKS SO MUCH!!
