I have personal experience of a dog with a liver shunt. She was 11 months when diagnosed and had hardly any symptoms. All that we noticed was she was very small, not terribly active and her coat was not very full. As soon as she was diagnosed, I researched what all could / needed to be done. Even though you may not want to hear it, surgery may be the only fair option if it is an operable shunt....if not, you may be sentencing your baby to an early death. I'm not trying to be harsh or a bully, but the reason your little one is having seizures is because he is slowly being poisoned. His liver can't properly filter the toxins from his little body. The surgery is the key to helping these little ones. It saved our Lola's life. It certainly is a financial hardship on everyone, but we managed to find a way. I hope you will consider surgery for your little guy - it made an amazing difference in our little girl's life. Sending prayers for your little one.... |
