Dee - there was no question that my Lola needed the surgery. I had her shunt surgically corrected and she is doing great today. The surgery is expensive, but it saved her life. Please start the lactulose immediately because it will help rid the toxins from his little body. Do not ever give him any other food, no treats - no table food - not even 1 bite, except for the hepatic food the vet gave you, because 1 bite will make him sick again. I had to warn my entire family not to EVER give Lola anything. Please join the website I sent you earlier for liver shunts. They were such a great help when I was going through this with Lola. They can answer all of your questions on surgery, diet, etc. I am so sorry you got this diagnosis for Buddy, but he is lucky to have you taking care of him! |
