Hoping all is well with Vinny

Me too!!

I'd think if JD made things right, he'd want the positive press.

my puppy has also soft spots in her head, is very tiny and Vinny's problelms sound very similar to my babbies

Doctor also mentioned liver shunt, and will test her in a month or so ( she is only 4 months old) Please post how Vinny is doing....

How is little Vinny doing? Please post an update.

Kaity · 10-28-2008, 12:01 AM

Sorry I have not logged on for a while. Vinny has gotten blood work and does have a liver shunt. My iternet connection has been on and off and I have just been to sad about little vinny to post.

He is on medication and a little better, and stumbeling around a little and a lot happier. He will remain on medication until we raise enough money for his surgery.

Thank you all for your support

I am so sorry I have left you guys hanging it just been very hard dealing with this and all the vet appts. I have been discouraged and kinda down about the situation. I promise I will log on more often!

i'm so sorry to hear about your new guy. if it's his spine, maybe a wheel chair like machine will work for him to walk. as for shaking, i agree with nerves, or worse..someone beat him, and caused all these problems.
let me know how things turn out.

Vinny has Liver Shunt.

I am sorry that your baby has a liver shunt. I know that it is very scary to deal with. I am glad to see an update, I have been worried about him. Keep your chin up, there is hope for shunt babies. Especally if it is found early, before too much damage is done to the liver. I am praying for you and little Vinny, and if you decide to bring him to the University of Tennessee for treatment, please let me know. I can get you a room free of charge.

I sent you a PM

Zanders' mom · 10-28-2008, 09:18 AM

Ooh, I had the feeling he had something, but gosh, I am sad to read it's the dreaded liver shunt. I am so sorry it is unbelievably expensive. Hugs to you, sorry that you are crying, I know you want to help this baby. Perhaps the Rescue place has some referrals for a less expensive surgery? I wish you the best.

If you could make arrangements to come here for him to be examined, I can get you hotel rooms here in Morristown free of charge. PM me if this is something that you would be interested in doing. I will help you
all I can. Good luck with this baby.

Many of you have left fund raising links and other links to help little vinny out
We are contacting them currently, we also set up a fund raising accout and are making flyers/donation boxes to put in pet stores and are planing a bake sale for him. We are going to get this done! Here is our first add. It's a craigslist posting. Just a start though, what do you guys think?
