Please don't suggest us to not get a dog if we can't afford him, I love him dearly but the vet told us herself the surgery may POSSIBLY work. Very tough situation and I wouldn't wish it on any owner.
If he's still showing symptoms... it's very important to get him on Lactulose and Denamarin... here's some more info:

Without these meds... he could have a seizure and pass on prematurely...
