I hope that by now your toy breed is doing a lot better. Ever hear of liver shunt???? Just wondering if your vet has mentioned it yet but it was once thought to affect mostly toys breeds but now has been found in several breeds large and small. These dogs can be managed through diet or sometimes surgery but it’s no picnic. I don’t want you to panic….but more dog lovers should be aware of this condition. There is a lot of good info available about it now. I am not diagnosing your dog just if this were my dog and if this illness has continued all this time I would want an answer and a solution before you end up spending thousands at the vet because it adds up quickly. I currently have a pug that has a liver shunt she had an ameroid constrictor placed in Nov of 2014 we are still struggling with her and they suspect a collateral shunt has developed so my picnic continues but she is such a sweet soul that we continue to push on to better be able to help her feel as good as possible and live a full life.
