Don't go for diet and meds. Get the surgery. I did some research on liver shunts recently and everything I came up with was that surgery is risky but has a very good success rate. Diet and meds seem to just prolong life but the pup is always fighting it - hard life.
That is from my research online and here. Now, I know others here have actually gone thru this and they will give you MUCH more knowledgeable advice. I will just say that if it were me, I'd do the surgery - no question.
Praying for Yogi! You are such a GREAT Yorkie Mommy!!!!!  You should be commended on your quick action and not giving up when you knew your baby was not himself. Hugs! Hang in there!

I agree what a GREAT Yorkie Mommy you are. You and Yogi are lucky to have each other. I know how scared you feel. I am keeping you both in my prayers.
