I would never wish I didn't have Matise we were meant for each other. I can tell you for those who are looking at getting a yorkie(or another) pay the extra money up front(we didn't know about liver shunts when we bought Matise). A few more dollars up front is worth piece of mind and literally thousands $$$ saved down the road. I love Matise and we were meant to be together, but I would never want anyone to go through what we have, are and will go through, it is emotionally and financially straining. Once again so sorry for your loss. |
I just have a quick question for you...
My yorkie also has vomitting only and we are in the process of finding out what the problem is. We are also thinking sensitive stomach, but after reading this, I'm very worried. So, you say that your little guy only had sporadic vomitting? How often? At night or during day? How did you finally have the shunt diagnosed? Utrasound?
Thank you so much.
