My 8 week old male yorkie was just diagnosed yesterday with Portosystemic Shunt....I am in shock over this....just wanted to know if anyone else has had experience with this AND what treatments were taken and also what the outcomes were. I was told and have read that surgery is the best option BUT will he live a normal life afterwards?? Ugggh....I hate that he has this...he's too cute. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!
