Tibby | 04-20-2007 05:12 AM | I'm so sorry to hear about Duke... My yorkie is 10 months old and has liver shunts, but his are inside the liver and can't be fixed . Tibby just had his operation march 20th this year ...His operation cost us $2600.00.... When the doctor did the ultasound they thought they has located the shunt, but when they got inside it wasn't a liver shunt they saw. The liver biopsy indicated that Tibby has hepatic microvascular dysplasia..This is micoscopic shuntings blood vessels in the liver. (MVD)
Tibby is on hills L/D dog food and takes lactulose twice a day. We contacted the breeder since Tibby has a one year health guarantee. she was very nice about everything, She won't give us our money back, but is going to let us keep Tibby and she's going to give us another dog from 2 different parents and let us choose the sex we wanted. Our new pup should be ready in 2 weeks. We sent her the papers from the vet stating Tibby is inoperable and requires lifetime medical treatments. The breeder talked to her vet about Tibby and she is no longer going to breed those 2 dogs.:animal36 |
