from your post I would say her numbers must not be very high or your vet must not be very good. Liver shunt is not something you just test for every six months it is a serious condition that often needs expensive surgery. There are also meds that can help with eliminating the toxins from her that the liver is failing to do. He is correct it is something that has become common in yorkies and it has a lot to do with the boom in yorkie breeders that are looking to make a lot of money selling this small breed. This is something you should contact your breeder about or others that have bought from your them. If thet they are good breeders they will stop breeding the pair that your dog came from. I don't know that much about the disease only that it is serious, expensive to treat and there is a lot of information on here and on the internet about it. There are also a lot of people on YT that have dogs with it and many have had the surgery. If I was you I would start goggling everything about it and learn how to read the lab work so you will know for yourself how severe her condition is. Make sure every time a test is done that you get a copy of it, people often wind up going to a specialist or a university vet school so it is good not to have to beg your vet for the records. Is her hair thin and is she very thin those are signs as well. So sorry to hear this because it seems like your dog is only about 7 months old and she is a doll. Good luck, she is in my prayers
