Please show me the research that states this is a common thing. I have never heard of anything like that. Perhaps it is possible..............but..... Am I not correct in saying that putting off surgery for a long time puts a dog at risk for multiple shunts?

Is it not true that it is more likely to happen to a dog who has NOT had the surgery? I mean, seriously, are you recommending AGAINST liver shunt surgery? What do you suggest...that an owner ignore a shunt and not do surgery because the dog might throw more shunts? Seriously?
