My heart goes out to all that have dealt with this before me. I am crushed. Matise was diagnosed with a liver shunt today. I just don't know what to say. I feel like I am dying. It all started with a couple of seizure like episodes so we took him to the vet and they drew blood but it all came back normal but he said we should do a bile acid test so we did and the results were a shunt. We will probably be speaking with a couple of different surgeons on Monday and then he will probably have surgery as soon as possible. And of course the cost, it doesn't matter we will pay it but but it is alot. I am so upset but I am trying to be strong for Matise but all I want to do is curl up in a ball. I just want everything to be ok and for him to be healthy and happy. I am just at a total loss for what to do or say. I just can't stop crying. Oh, why is this happening. I am so sorry for anyone who has went through this before it is so awful. I am so sorry for the sadness of this thread but I just needed to talk about it with people that would understand. Thanks for listening.
