Thanks.... It really varies in each dog, but he did say no longer than 6-7 years. Tink is 4 1/2 years now, so maybe 1.5 - 2 years longer, optimum.

I thought this was a learning forum...where I could come and be so educated. I have been educated on heartbreaks for sure. What I want to learn is how to make you and Tink feel better. If I only had the power to, I would. You and Tink have a piece of my  .
When I first joined this forum your post was one of the first I read. I have always looked up to your advice. You have given so much of yourself here...I just want to know what can I give you back?
Even for the fact that I do not know you I want to tell you that I love you and Tink. I do not care how big or small your needs are... please, just ask. I am here, right along with the other members.
May God Bless and keep you and may He make his Face shine upon you.......Barbara |
Thank you... your post made me smile which was kind of hard to do today. Thanks too for the love, and caring for us, and your kind offer to help. Right now, all I can think of is that Tink is going to need a miracle...

Thanks... Multiple shunts occurs when the blood pressure in the liver is too high, so if any shunts are closed off (increasing the pressure even more), more shunts will pop out to relieve the pressure. I haven't heard of it happening to often on here, more frequently it is either MVD or a single shunt. Figures Tink would have to be different...
