Prevention is about peace of mind – the kind that comes from knowing that you are proactively monitoring the health and wellness of the pets you love. Banfield would love to partner with you in the ongoing care of your pet.
Optimum Wellness Plans® are yearly packages of discounted services that make proactive pet health care easy and affordable.
When it comes to your pet's health, there's no such thing as a dumb question. Search questions real clients have submitted to our popular Ask a Vet Q&A series, and then submit a question of your own.
Hi Jimmie, I recommend that you talk to your local veterinarian about this question. The prognosis and survival rate in something like this can have a large variation. Some factors that will effect it include the age of the pet, the symptoms the pet is showing, how the surgery was performed, the type of shunt that is present, and the pet’s overall health. Your vet knows your pet’s medical history so they can give you the best advice on this.
