Just home from the Vet. Ultrasound was done. My Yorkie, Jordan most likely has kidney stones in addition to having a Liver Shunt.

We now need to decide to take her to a Board Certified Radiologist, so they could determine if it's external or internal. If it's internal, they do surgery.

We just done have the money. This is at least a couple of thousand dollars.

We really couldn't afford the $150 that I borrowed from Grandma's birthday present to the kids.

:(

Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts.

Hi, MyMartes--Am soo sorry to hear about your beloved dog. I know when our dearest cat was put down, it was very expensive. (i.e., lab, x-rays, tests, etc.). We did, however, discover that there was a VCA nearby and there were some reduced fees, (bundled fees), when compared to the private vet practices, specialty animal vets, etc. Am thinking of you and sending hugs your way. Whiz.:)
