I feel like I should add to this. That chihuahua didn't ultimately make it but I didn't know that when I posted the original story. He had a second shunt repair and then was adopted. He passed a few months later from a seizure. I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier and I don't want you to think he was some great success now that I found that. Every case is different and maybe there are success stories. I would ask your neurologist how many of these he has done and how the life was after and for how long. I spend a lot of my dogs, but I'm not sure I would do this surgery if they couldn't give me a good prognosis. I just don't know. I feel horrible for you having to make this decision and want to cry.
