 Liver shunt questions
I have a 2 yr old Yorkie, Chip, that I think has a liver shunt. We are waiting on the results of the last test to get a dx. I am pretty sure it is one. I have asked the vet in the past what was wrong with my baby, but we never got any answers. On Wed, he had a really bad episode. The worst one yet. I rushed him to the vet and finally they took it serious. He was in the hospital for two days getting tests. I want to get the surgery, but they haven't talked to me about it yet as we need one more test result.
Anyone out there go through with the surgery? Where was it done at? Cost? What happens after the surgery? I guess I am just full of questions. I want to get the best treatment I can afford, but I see where it is really expensive according to some vets and a lot less with other vets. I read an old forum on here where the cost ranged from $1200 to $6000 I think, but it was really old. Any current prices or where does everyone think the leading edge place to get this surgery is at? |
