I"m sorry to hear your yorkie has multiple shunts. Did you do a bile acid test on her before the surgery? Just wondering what the numbers were.
There are many people here who have dogs with liver problems unfortunately. My yorkie has MVD as well but she is asymptomatic. I don't have to have her a on special diet. Some here recommend the royal canin liver diet over the hills liver diet i believe. Others home cook or feed a very low protein regular dog kibble. There are also supplements that can be given. I don't do any of this so hopefully others will come along and tell you their experiences.
Usually with diet, supplements, and/or medication a dog with MVD can live a pretty normal life. I'm not too sure about the prognosis of fatty liver though and if its a lot different then MVD.
