More: He is a Brittany that at 9 weeks old we realized he was born with a liver shunt, we were fearful he was going to die. Our local vet recommended 2 options put him down or try surgery at a cost of 3800.00, In the few weeks we had him with us we already fell in love with his affection and intelligence. After considerable research and love we decided on a survey we could barely afford. He came through it and is a lovable, energetic intelligent part of our family ! We love him soo much.
