Default I have a very sick 5 month old yorkie -

Can anyone help me with information?
I have a 5 month old toy yorkie - he was extremely active and a normal happy spoiled puppy until last monday - then he became lethargic and
falling down - i took him to ER and vet did glucose test (normal) and gave him wormer and sent him home (he does not have any worms) he got worse overnight so I too to regular vet on Tuesday - he did battery of tests and nothing was out of the ordinary - white cell count up just a bit - then he referred me to neurologist - he has been there since last wed.
he had MRI - showed brain infection - and a high liver count - about 40 - rather than normal 15 - for a liver shunt they say it should be about 100 - but he is having the liver test tomorrow - to see if it's a shunt - but he has no energy - he can't STAND - he acts like he has ALD - like a rag doll - he is eating, he is on steroids and ampicylin by IV - I am dying inside - I love my yorkie so much - I need him to get better -does anyone know what this can be? the doctors are all clueless.. help if you know anything
