I know this is off topic but I also know we're all
animal lovers and many vets read this so I'd appreciate any help you have to
offer. I have a 7 month old Mini Daschund that has just been diagnosed
with having a Liver Shunt. I've done lots of reading on this but most
everything I've found is on diagnosing it. I do have him on a prescription
diet and meds but he still very uncoordinated with his walking. Other than
surgery my vet tells me this is all I can do. I was told that surgery will
run about $2000 and he has to be tested first which is another $1000,
I can't afford all that right now. Is there anything I can do to help him
walk and run better besides surgery? He falls down about every third
step. I feel so bad for him. However he is very happy, and seems to
be doing better with the special diet and meds. I just want to make sure
I'm doing all I can for him and thought maybe someone on here had some
info.
