Hi,
About month or two my yorkie pup started to act very weird. One night after throwing up she started shaking and couldn't walk. We took her to emergency room. After her blood work our vet told us that she has liver shunt. He give us lactulose and told us to give it when she's going to have symptoms again. About two weeks after I noticed her head shaking a little so I treat her with medicine for 3 day 3 times per day. Besides diarrhea she didn't have any other symptoms. Today I noticed she's shaking a lot so I give her medicine. She was running around a lot but you could see that she's not herself. Now after two hours of constant running and falling she's resting. I didn't go to vet because it was closed already. But the last time he told me to just look at her. I didn't have any idea she's supposed to have a special died. All I'm feeding her is blue dry food and can from fresh pet(shop rite fridge). I have no idea what to do how to help her when her symptoms come again and especially what to feed her. I'm looking for help. What are her chances to live long and health live? What kind of died she should have? Are they any medication she should have? She is 6months now. I probably made very big mistake by breeding her mom with another yotkie. Jasmine ( mommy) had 3 puppies and Bella was the third one out of the litter. During her first 2 months after feeding she almost every time threw up. Vet told us that's because she's eating to fast. Other two puppies are healthy. Please if you can provide me with information I should know.

You really should start your own thread ... just go to the Sick & Injured Forum and click Start New Thread and put the above information in. You will get more advice that way.

Taffy and I are sending our love and prayers to liitle Buddy and to his Mommy!
Glad he is having a good surgeon coming to do the surgery. It is worth it to have an experienced doctor! I drove Taffy out of our Shenandoah Valley over to a great surgeon almost 3 hours east who was able to realign his two broken bones and put in a permanent tiny plate and screws over his broken front leg bones. Our local DVM vet had tried splints, but his broken bones slid side by side!
After the surgery, we had to keep him quiet and No Running so he could heal well. He is doing great now. We are sending lots of prayers to little Buddy!!
