| possible liver shunt???? last night i think Sirius had a siezure. i am still really shaken up and im soo scared for the worst. i think he may have a liver shunt. he did this weird thing where he stuck his tongue out and left it hangin out and then looked like he had the hiccups. after that he started barking and running around like a mad man. i picked him up to try and calm him down and he calmed down very quickly and lay in my lap for a few minutes and then look SUPER sleepy. i thought maybe he was hypoglycemic, so i gave him a little honey and he perked up pretty quickly. He then started to do what appeared to be trying to get something off his head and ive read that with the liver shunt they press their heads against thing so im really freaking out right now. im talking him to his vet tomorrow morning but in the meantime i am absolutely going crazy. ive been watching him like a hawk to see if he has another episode. has anyone had a yorkie with a liver shunt? i know there is a surgery that can be done...im just so scared he is going to die and it will be all my fault for getting him from his horrible breeder. if it is a liver shunt is that considered genetic? what will i do if i lose him? im so scared.
