First let me say that I hope Max is fine and doesn't have a liver shunt. My puppy had surgery for a liver shunt in January and he is doing fantastic. I just want you to know that even if it is the worst and he does have a liver shunt that it can be taken care of and he can be healthy. I took him to the University of Tennessee because they are the experts. It was an 11 hour drive for me but so worth it. The testing, surgery, neutering, baby teeth pulling and meds were only $1800. I just want you to know that I was devastated too but my baby is fine and thriving. I am hoping that Max doesn't have anything wrong but in case he does have a shunt it is not a death sentence. He can have a long healthy life.
