Liver_Shunt_And_MVD_Support@yahoogroups.com

please join this group you need to read up on liver shunt as not eating is a huge sign of liver shunt and the seizure is too a yorkie is 38% more likely to have a shunt than in other breeds. make sure you are feeding a lower protein diet like 18% so i would recommend L/D and see if your pup does better and do wet as they will not eat because when they eat if protein is too high it makes them feel sick so they refuse to eat. They can seize from hypoglycemia but that is real rare so if your dog had a seizure i cannot stress this enough to check it out further. It also dogs not make sense that the dog is not active another sign of liver shunt

here are signs of liver shunt to watch out for - head pressing, spaced out after eating, vomitting, seizures, refusing to eat (picky eater)

was the seizure after eating as usually that happens after eating as they cannot digest properly through the liver
