Hi, I don't post on here very much and I saw this and thought I would jump in. About 5 years ago, my little yorkie named Grace needed this surgery also. I called the Ohio University and they were very expensive. I ended up taking Grace to the University of Tennessee and Dr Tobias did her surgery. Grace had a more serious issue than a shunt and she just passed away this past July. She was 4.5 years old. She was healthy and happy up until the last week. Every year on Grace's birthday, I would send Dr Tobias an e-mail and a current picture. She would always respond. Grace had no portal vein and little to no liver. For the surgery, gas and motel room, it was still tons cheaper than Ohio State. Why not have surgery by the best for less? If you need any info, just shoot me a PM.
