I think our nightly walk thru the woods is causing the flea issue. I am afraid to use to many chemicals around or on him d/t his shunt. My vet said to treat him like any other dog... and we do ,except for the special diet.

Meghan believe me i will do whatever it takes to save my dog. I apprieciate all your advice. I am a nurse and can afford all the basics for him, his special diet and i take him to the vet on a regular basis. However a surgery bill was not in the puppy budget. There would be way to many homeless pets if the only people who took pets could afford that kind of vet bills. I am grateful you care so much about these little guys. I will even consider a rescue situation if all else fails... but i am excited to find the U of tenn.
It's great that you found U Tenn and got a great price. $3000 would come as a surprise for many of us.

My Lucy has mild liver problems so I know the fear and worry.

I hope that you can get the Care Credit if your little boy needs it.

Keep us posted on his progress and we will keep him in our prayers.
