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. |

My Bobo had surgery for a liver shunt about 6 weeks ago. He is doing great now, eating better (he is on a special diet for now), I think he is growing and gaining weight, I can tell he feels much better now. He also takes a med (lacotose) twice a day. I was concerned about the expense but in the end my breeder refunded the cost of my puppy so that was put toward the cost of surgery. what test has he had done?
