Hi Everyone!
Emma will visit Tufts University next Wednesday, April 22. I will have a consultation with the Chief of Surgery to weigh any and all options regarding her liver shunt for my little one and the medication she has been on since December, Metronidozole. I will update you then.

I hope all the other babies living with a liver shunt are doing well.

Emma needs to be on a low residue diet ( Iams). I have switched my other yorkie's kibble to Solid Gold Millenia as it is much lower in protein than the Evo she was on. From what I understand, high protein diets are not good for yorkies although she was doing well on the Evo.
