| I am so glad you explained and I am so sorry for your loss. You know I posted earlier on the thread how sorry I was. Since I just had a tragedy with my Crystal I just couldn't help but wonder but glad to understand now. God Bless.

You loved Mattie so much. You did everything you could to help your little one. Thank you for sharing the video. It was heartbreaking, however, very interesting. I am sure it has made a difference . I feel like I now have been educated on Liver shunts and symtoms it causes . Thank You.

| My heart just breaks for you~ it's obvious that Mattie was well loved and cared for just by looking at her precious sweet face! I know you must just miss her terribly. I'm sorry that she had to suffer at all, but I'm glad it wasn't for too terribly long (although, I'm sure it seemed like an eternity to you). Bless you for all you did for her and for all you had to go thru too, it's just the worst feeling to see them suffering and not be able to help them. I'm sure that Mattie is looking down at you from the Rainbow Bridge (in between her zooming around with the other sweet doggies there) and hoping that you know how much she loved you. I'm so sorry.

| Brenda...I am so sorry you lost little Mattie. She was so cute. I didn't watch the entire video, but I understand why you took and posted it. Some people may question it, but I commend you for it. As a new Yorkie owner I feel the more educated you are about your breed the better. That goes for the good, bad and ugly...I've seen liver shunt mentioned often but until I saw your video I did not know what you might expect if your pup had it. Again, I'm sorry for you and your family...RIP Mattie.

| There just aren't any words to express the pain you must go thru every time you see that video. It breaks my heart. But, I want to thank you for sharing such a personal part of your's and Mattie's last few hours together just to educate us on something many of us know nothing about. Even tho her life was short, it was full of love - that shows in her eyes. I'm so sorry. (((Hugs))).

| So sorry to read your post and the video was difficult for me to watch, but if you realize this was done for anyone with a pup diagnosed with liver shunt, then it is a part of research. How many times have we wondered what does a disease look like? How do we recognize a pup in distress? Please remember this was not easy to film or even talk about to all of us. Bless little Mattie and I know she is snuggling with Sophie and the other pups at the Rainbow Bridge as the sun sets. Warmly, Deborah

| Brenda, first I want to say how sorry I am that you lost your precious baby. I can not begin to imagine the pain you went through watching her in that condition. I lost my baby Gizmo this past February from complications after having Liver Shunt surgery. He was three years old. He had always had some symptoms of a liver shunt, but nothing like what your baby was doing, not even on the very last. I have never heard of the GME (I think) that you mentioned. What is that? Did it contribute to her showing of symptoms? Gizmo was always a picky eater, did not gain weight, would shake after eating, and had alot of kidney or UTI infections, but never did what your baby was doing. He would shake as if he was cold, but after a little while it would go away. I am so sorry to be asking this, and if it is too painful dont respond to my questions I will understand. Again I am so sorry for the loss of your baby. |

| I am so, so very sorry for you loss. Your little Mattie was just amazingly beautiful. I think your video will help other's to recognize the symptoms of this horrible disease. Rest assured she is at Rainbow Bridge. |

| I am so sorry for your loss of Mattie. I was not able to watch your video but from reading others posts I can imagine how hard it was to see your baby in that condition. We are here if you need us.

| Brenda, It was extremely hard for me to watch that video of Mattie, since my little Brooke has GME and looks so much like Mattie. I wish that Mattie had only one of those terrible diseases and maybe she could have been saved but the 2 of them together was just too much for her little body. You did all that you could and should never feel that you could have done more. I wish you peace and strength.
