| Liver shunts Hi. I am new to the yorkie talk site. I have two yorktese (or morkies) who are 5 1/2 and 1 1/2. My younger one is a male named Rocco who we just found out has a liver shunt. He went through all of the tests at Ohio State veterinary hospital the last week of December, and they all point to a liver shunt. He is scheduled to have surgery Jan. 24. I am very worried about him. Right now he is on Science Prescription diet L/D, lactulose and neomycin until he has surgery. If anyone has a yorkie who has or has had a liver shunt, I would love to hear from you. Thanks Maggie and Rocco's mom |

| Several folks on here have had successful liver shunt surgeries. You might want to post in the Sick and Injured forum. I've heard good things about OSU. My Lucy does not have a shunt but rather MVD. Prayers for Rocco's successful surgery.
