Love Emma liver shunt

HI Everyone.
Just wanted to let you know that I picked Emma up at Tufts this afternoon. She is no worse for wear. Everyone there loves her because she is such a doll. As you now know, she does have a shunt. We will be speaking to a surgeon from Tufts who specializes in soft tissue soon to determine the options. I am still fearful of seizures and will be asking about them. Again, has anyone had liver shunt surgery done on Yorkies at Tufts. What was the result? Also, are there other specific questions I should be asking the surgeon? Please advise. According to the doctor who has been seeing her, it could be that the surgeon suggests not operating. Then what? Thanks for all the great input.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
