Bella's Liver Shunt Surgery

Sweet Bella is our schnauzer puppy born on Sept 20th. She is the joy of our lives. She wasn't feeling well a couple of days before Christmas. On the morning of Christmas Eve I was getting ready for work and she didn't even want to go potty outside but I didn't want to wake my hubby. After we came back inside she starting having seizures. I rushed her to the 24hr animal hospital and they immediately put an IV in her and did blood work. Her liver enzymes and ammonia levels were super high. They said she has all the signs of liver shunting a common problem with schnauzer puppies. I had no clue! She remained in the hospital for several days having more seizures. We are now on special medicines and special food. We have repeated her bloodwork and the numbers are still very high. The vet recommended she have the liver shunt surgery to correct her problem. She is so tiny only weighs 2.9 lbs. I'm such a scared mommy but I want to do whatever possible to help my sweet girl. She is our little girl and we want the very best for her life! We will be leaving to Houston on January 11 to see Dr. Grayson Cole who will hopefully fix our precious fur baby!
