Thanks all, I am calmer now, just spoke to vet, yogi seems to be responding to IV fluids and meds and is sleeping now. I will see him in the am. I read all links, very helpful, especially seeing Teddy Bears success story! I would definitely opt for the surgery so my sweet 11 month old could have a happy normal life. Just hoping this is what the vet says as well. Sounds like we have more diagnostic tests to do to see the liver and shunts to know what we're up against. He is the sweetest dog ever and should not have to go through this. Thanks again for all the advice, and yes a board cert surgeon, I am researching only those who specialize in shunt/liver issues.
