Intra hepatic shunted liver

[Tammy VanKampen]

Our sweet Macy is 17 weeks old and has been diagnosed with a shunted liver! She is showing ALL the signs! It's so sad to watch her! She's had several seizures with the severe neurological symptoms (walking the walls with her head down and pressing her head into things and wobbly!)
Is there anyone on here that has a happy, healthy labradoodle with a shunted liver that is controlling the toxins with diet and meds?? We just can't afford to spend the $6000 on a surgery that is complicated with a low success rate! Help!?

[Tammy VanKampen]

Thanks everyone! I'm so grateful for this site! It has brought me comfort during this difficult time!
Yesterday afternoon I made a tribute video in memory of Macy. If anyone is interested, you are welcome to watch the short and sweet video... Just like Macy's life!

I won't leave the site! I plan on staying to continue to do my 'homework' and get the best advice we can for the next sweet furbaby we bring home!
