He recovered rapidly - has become more active and even grew more shortly after the operation. In a coupe more weeks we'll be taking him in for his BAT's. If everything is OK, he will be scheduled for his hip operation and then - hopefully, he'll have a normal healthy life.

WONDERFUL NEWS

I am so happy for you!!!! I see that you are from Maine. My Roxy and TJ came from Maine. They came from a HORRIBLE breeder: Brylaur Puppies
By any chance is that where yours came from too???

Roxy and TJ have luxating patellas and Roxy also has liver issues, not a shunt though, she has MVD...

They came from Maine Yorkies in Eddington Maine. I believe the the lady's name was Joy and she's a forever home breeder. They were very nice people, my daughter emailed them for 2 years before we decided to get Moxie and Eli. A friend of ours got one a year proir and had no problems.

But since we asked for info about the others in the same litter and told them about Eli, they have removed their website and email. They will not talk to us.

I also just saw this thread. Wow, so glad your pup is doing better and had the surgery. I have heard of other people taking their pups to UT. They must be as awesome as everyone says.

So sad about this breeder though....
