I have a question.

How many of you guys have had your pets (Yorkie or not) diagnosed w/ Liver Shunt (or another similar Liver related disease).

And if so, I want to generally know:

1) What costs to expect.
2) The recovery period. How difficult? How much care is needed?
3) Life upon full recovery. How is their personality (back to normal?)? Any precautions that now need to be taken that you didn't before?

I see information on the diagnosis of liver shunt, but NOTHING from an owner's standpoint about recovery.

Thanks.

Dom
