Default Sorry to infiltrate your forum

I am not a yorkie owner so i aplogize in advance.
I do however own 3 maltese andi found this forum after doing google searches on liver shunts.
I have a girl who will be 3 in march.
She just had the shunt surgery and I am going nuts trying to figure out if her behavior is normal for post op.
She had the procedure on thur...stayed in a hospital that is about 3 hours away until Saturday.
I picked her up and took her home .
She is on antibiotics, anit seizure meds, pain meds, and lactilose
She has been pretty tired and not moving too much...she's eating and drinking but Only when I pick her up carry her to her bowl and feed her by hand.
She actually threw up twice today...it was in a row...not seperate parts of he day.
She is sleeping next to me right now so I can monitor her.
I have no idea if this is normal or if she needs to go back to the hospital .
I called them but the surgeon is off until tomorrow....they are under staffed bc of the holiday .
Can anyone who knows about this tell me a tying about this recovery?
Any help would be appreciated .
Again, I'm sorry about my dog not being a yorkie but this forum seems to know a lot about this surgery .

Thank you In advance
