I just got my girl gabby on labor day this year and she will be one yr old nov 1, in a couple of days. last night we had a horrible night and she scared the crud out of me. she threw up one time and acted like she was having mild seizures. i took her to vet this morning and they want her back monday morning to run more tests on her after fasting, they think she might have liver shunt. I was shocked! especially since she is supposed to come from championship bloodline. i'm really scared and nervous about the whole thing. vet says he can treat her medically and thru special diet, but if it doesn't help her then they would have to do surgery on her. I just got done going through pancreatitis with my boy yorkie over the summer and that was heartbreaking... i cried and cried the whole weekend he was at vet. i went for a visit and leaving him was the hardest thing i had ever experienced. i know that sounds strange but i love my dogs with my whole entire heart and i'm scared and nervous over gabby possibly having shunt problem, but very hopeful that she is healthy enough to overcome this.
