yeah my vet sent her personal friend to ucdavis for internal shunt on a boxer and the dog died and ucdavis is far away from this person as she is from orange county i believe where vet care is expensive as my cousin lives there. UCDAVIS is more known for nutrition and i would not have my dog done there at all. The only dog i know that had surgery in so cal was a lady on liver shunt group she drove down from washington to dr broom had the scintigraphy done and it was a shunt then some other guy down here did surgery and dog died - NO WAY i would only have dr tobias and it costs about 4,000 to have surgery in so cal as my friend checked it out so she flew to ut and spent a week there and it was half the cost i have not heard of one positive shunt surgery in southern california so i would not risk it --i know this may sound funny but i prefer women surgeons they have small hands and i believe that is important in doing surgery on tiny dogs lollll
