It is just a heartbreaking experience. Those of you who have pet insurance should check the fine print. Most policies do not cover genitic or hereditary illness such as liver shunt.
this is correct about insurances and i believe it is genetic so make sure the parents are bile acid tested and so is the puppy before you get the puppy so you do not get your heart broken again
