My yorkie also has a liver shunt, but unfortunately his is intrahepatic and it cannot be repaired, so it is managed through diet and medications. He is doing very well now, and you would never even know he has it. He is so sweet and very spoiled!!
IMO having a bile acid test done is important for yorkies as so many are diagnosed with liver shunts. It is a fairly inexpensive test that runs between $50-$100 depending on where you live, but it is well worth every penny for that peace of mind.
I will pray for your little guy, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
