| My Little Boy with Liver Shunt. Help! Hi Community, My Mom came home in July with the most precious little Yorkie puppy. Within a couple weeks I knew something was wrong. In the last two weeks we've been to the emergency room, a few Vet visits, and to a specialist (Surgeon). He has liver shunt. Our little guy is not even 4 months old yet. He only weighs 3 pounds. Hes very skinny. Seems so frail and unhealthy. He has more sick days lately than good ones. This surgeon says hes a good candidate for surgery. Which is great all we want is for him to get well. I need a recipe for homemade puppy liver shunt diet. As the food the vet had us get seems to make him have these episodes every other day. Please help me, help him, to get healthier before surgery. Any advice at all is sincerely appreciated. I Love him so much |

| So sorry you and your pup are going through this. I don't personally have experience with liver shunt issues, but I'm sure someone will have some advice or encouragement for you. That's good news that his shunt is repairable and I hope the procedure goes well and you will have a healthy pup soon! |

| Hi, I just read your post and my little Cricket had a liver shunt as well. She had surgery as a puppy to fix it, but she was later diagnosed with MVD which are little tiny shunts that cannot be repaired. She eats science diet L/D dry food and she does good on it. She is now 3 years old and weighs about 8 lbs. I hope your boy is okay. feel free to ask any questions you may have. Megan
