| Update On Gucci I took Gucci to surgeon today and the news I received is encouraging but at the same time very confusing and hopefully I make the right choices. Gucci definiety has liver shunt, He feels she has a external portoshunt, in which they would put the ameriod constrictor, but this surguery is very complex and he doesnt know until he is operating on her if it is one or mutliple. There are so many complications and even death can occur with this surguery, but that is with any surguery for humans to. Even if the body accepts the constrictor they don't know if the liver will accept the increase of blood flow to the liver. In all he feels she has a better chance of living longer with the operation, he stated 85 percent as opposed to not operating ,she will get seizures and her liver will eventually cease working but he can't say when that would happen.. I am leading toward the surguery, There is much more and I can't even begin to explain, because I find it confusing myself. Please I see the power of prayers working for Sammi, please include Gucci in your prayers she is one little sick girl. Thank You.. Gina |

| Gina, I can only imagine how difficult this is. The medical terminology seems to make a difficult time even more so. Please know that little Gucci will be in our prayers and you, too.

| Gucci is in my prayers, and I hope the surgery helps her. Good luck if you decide to go through with it. Even if it's the smallest chance of saving her, she deserves it! |

| I'm so sorry you and Gucci are having to go through this. Liver shunt is so scary to hear, but I've heard of lots of yorkies who have had the surgery and now healthy and happy, so hope that's some consolation to you. I've been praying for Gucci and will continue! Big hugs to you!!!
