Default I am considering adopting a rescue yorkie who had a liver shunt...

Hi everyone,
I recently came across a website for a placement service for yorkies in MA, which is where I am from. I have thought about getting another yorkie puppy for my baby to have a friend to play with and grow up with. Then, I saw a placement ad for an 18 week yorkie...here is the link: http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=6906827. He is such a cutie and I know my home environment would be perfect for him. My baby won't grow to be more than 3 1/2 pounds and she has never been alone for more than two hours and that is only once or twice per week. Other than that I have a great family who takes turns supervising when I need to go to class, work, etc. but I am not sure what kind of responsibility this would be. Not only the physical responsibility of supervising, etc. but the financial responsibility as well. Does anyone have a yorkie that had a liver shunt and went through similar procedures?? I am going to do research on liver shunts but does this mean that the surgery fixed the problem? Could he have another liver shunt in the future?? Any advice would be helpful and appreciated!
