I found out legally i am aloud to post my story, pictures of my dog, her tattoo, her registration papers where she came from, what the kennel name is but i should not slander the Breeder which i won't do and apolagize if i have talked about in any way shape or form. This is to let others no that my dog has Liver Shunt and its been confirmed from the top Specialists in my area and if i can save somebody else from going through the termoil, expense then I will find comfort in that. Yorkies are such a passion for me, I love them and it makes me sad that i have one that has touched my childrens lives and many people in my life and her life is going to live much shorter then it should be. I still have so many decisions to face upon here. I am waiting for the results back from my Vet and then i will post it in hopes that i can save someone else, educate anyone that is thinking of purchasing a Yorkie - whatever you do... Please, please demand a acid bile test, a Pre and a post. This is a forsure way to know that your dog does not have Liver Shunt. I feel for the breeder in many ways too. The last thing a Breeder wants to hear is that a dog comes back testing postive for Liver Shunt. We aren't all perfect we are only human and things happen that just happen. I just trusted that a kennel in business for 26 years would be pretty knowledgeable on their genes of their Yorkies.
I know in my heart that this will have a happy ending for all involved. I am much more educated myself now and in owning Yorkies i should of been to begin with. I am trying to find the good in something that has a very bad situation.
Don't forget - Acid Bile Test. Pre and Post! |
