Awesome Yorkie Prayers WORK!!

Just got this from Tanner's angel. She said I could paste her email here and share with EVERYBODY!

Tanner is out of surgery!! I just spoke with Dr. Huett, she said Tanner came through like a champ. As it turns out, Tanner had a single, external shunt .Because the shunt was located in an obscure location, it required more than the usual time to repair. (Jessie & I were getting pretty nervous!) The ameroid constrictor is now in place. Dr. Huett said Tanner's liver looks healthy, just a little small, and she has taken several liver samples for biopsy. Because she was able to see Tanner's shunt, the portogram was unnecessary!

Jessie and I were very much impressed with Dr. Huett. She spoke to us for about 45 minutes prior to surgery. Her explanation of a LS vs acquired shunts, the symptoms, the differences between liver disease and LS, about MVD, HE and every complication, outcome and the risks involved in this procedure was both understandable and calming.

Thank you all for your incredible support. You are a band of angels..you came through with prayers and dollars for this lovely little Yorkie in his time of need...Keep the prayers coming, the next 2 days are critical. Tanner will remain inpatient at OVRS for at least that amount of time. Either Jessie or I will post an update tonight.


Today is a good rescue day (:

Isn't that just the most WONDERFUL NEWS? Let's keep our paws together for the next few days so that Tanner will have good news on the tests, too.
