CHato has PSS or liver shunt. It can be medically treated but he will have a poor life quality the only option for him is surgery.. Has anybody had this surgery done before? If so tell me please about it from personal experience. I am thinking about having it done for him.

AND IMPORTANT TO ALL OWNERS OF YORKIES: PLEASE CHECK YOUR YORKIE FOR AMONIA LEVELS IN HIS SYSTEM THIS IS A TARGET BREED FOR THIS DISEASE. ASK YOUR VET FOR A TEST ON PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNT.

IF YOUR DOG IS:

DROOLING
UNRESPONSIVE
DISORIENTED
TRYING TO CLIMB HIGH

WATCH OUT FOR THIS. IT AFFECTS HIS CNS DIRECTLY.

I am extremely sad. Please let me know if you have heard of this surgery and how good it is after.
