The post surgery seizure problem {I have also read about blindness occurring] is what is worrisome. Has anyone had this liver shunt surgery done at the Tufts University Foster Hospital for Small Animals? I will have to ask them about their success rates and whether or not there have been problems with seizures. I know that with any surgery, doctors always say that something could go wrong. I would feel horrible and so sad if Emma were not the same cute and energetic love after surgery. I would hate to see her suffer with seizures and other complications due to surgery. Should surgery be the only answer, I wonder if I can insist on a VERY EXPERIENCED surgeon and not a student since this is a teaching university hospital.

Feeling sad already.
