Thanks guys.. Wish I knew what the right thing to do was

I have to disagree also, I know the attachment to a dog that I've had for 10+ years, and I am still very attached to Jed. Just because I haven't had him for as long, My partner and I have become very attached to him. We also have his sister from same litter at home who we want to have her brother back. Anyway, this isn't about me, it's about him and all I'm saying is if he has a fighting chance I want to give it to him, but if he doesn't then I don't want to put him through any more pain and suffering. Yes we are going broke trying to save him and it is heart breaking to watch it has been a roller coaster so far and isn't getting any clearer as to what we should do, vet has said at the moment he is doing well and not having any more seizures, so how do I just call them and say put him to sleep? Much easier said than done I think. I have tried to contact the breeder just now and hoping I get a return call soon.

Woofnhoof your experience gives me so much hope but still don't know what to do, I know no one can tell me what to do its just so hard.. Just got a call from the vet saying he has done really well overnight, hasn't had any more seizures since the ones in the car yesterday. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday but they are talking with the specialist about if they should give him more time to recover since he had a seizure. We are just too scared to bring him home in case he does again. Such a scary thing to see

I haven't notified the breeder yet, as I keep hearing conflicting things- that it wouldn't be their fault and they couldn't have possibly known - and that we should tell them because they shouldn't breed the parents anymore. Either way, we would never just take him back and ask for our money back. I will call them today but I doubt they will give us a refund to help with all of our costs. The surgeon did tell us that he may not make it through surgery, I would just feel horrible denying him of a 70% chance for a normal life. But then again, if it doesn't work, I can't bear to see him go through any more suffering. I just want to do the best thing for him regardless of money or anything else. I just don't know what that is!

I am new to this forum but I am in desperate need of information and advice. My 12 week old husky puppy has been diagnosed 4 days ago (monday) with an intrahepatic liver shunt. They started him On medication and once he was stable, he came home with us the next day tuesday. We continued giving him his medication and started him on a low protein diet. He was crying and walking around aimlessly and this didn't stop so we took him back to the emergency vet on essendon. He stayed there overnight and came home again the next day Wednesday by Thursday he was almost back to his usual happy self! Then today Friday, he began to act strange again, walking aimlessly very slowly and head pressing, when I noticed him foaming at the Mouth I put him in the car to take him back to essendon emergency. On the way , he began to have seizures which was themist terrifying thing I have ever seen. I didn't think he would make it to the vet. He did, they stabilised him and told us he was blind , and that it may or may not be temporary. He is booked in for his surgery on Wednesday, but we are too terrified to bring him Home before then in case he seizures again, and we live about an hour from The emergency vet. We are also in a very difficult position as the surgeon said now that he has had seizures, he is more likely to have them after the surgery. Apparently the surgery has a 70% success rate. I dont want to put this poor little puppy through any more pain. It is a possibility survey may not work and he may continue to suffer. My partner and I would appreciate any information and advice anyone could give we have been in tears for days and are heartbroken that our little man is going through this.
