It seems like your vet kind of prepared you for these results. I'm so sorry. It's so difficult to believe that a 5 year old healthy looking fella like yours would have liver shunt. The chemical imbalance in his body does indicate his problem though. I'm so sorry you are facing this.
I know of a person on another forum that is facing much the same issue. Their dog is on the small size and had to have stones removed several months ago. It wiped out their extra money and have been facing the fact that once he gets filled with stones again they would have to have him put down. Their vet did not investigate the liver though. I don't remember what his stones were composed of though
I hope there are others on YT who have some assistance for you. I know there are others that have been faced with this. I think there is a pet credit card that can be taken out to help pay for some expensive treatments but I'm not sure if it will cover liver shunt. I know there are others on YT that would have more info on this. |
