It is nice having someone my own age too!
Umm .. honestly we had no clue she had a shunt. She showed no symptoms at all! We were taking her to get fixed and because shunts are common in yorkies and having one makes it harder for them to wake up from the anesthesia, the vet checked her bile acid numbers and it showed up that hers were high.
What symptoms did your yorkie have?
