I read the first 4-5 posts and I was just about to say to have them check if it is a shunt and if it can be repaired. There are shunts that can be repaired and your puppy can live a healthy life. I am going through this right now and my yorkie is 20 months old. I am totally attached to him. When they do the surgery they will look for a shunt. If no shunt is found ,they will get a biopsy of the liver. It might also be Microvascular Dysplasia (they will put him on a special diet) This will get his acid levels down. I will find out in about 2 weeks if my little guy has a shunt or Microvascular Dysplasia. The cost is expensive around $1,500-$2000.
Your furbaby is just adorable. Ask your vet if you can start him on a low protein dog food. Hills science diet has a can food that is very low Protein called Hills LD canned food. Please keep us updated on your little guy.
Also check if your state has Pet Lemon Laws. If they do ,it wont matter if it's not on your sales contract .With Pet Lemon Laws you have up to 1 yr after your purchase.
