| Please Pray for Jen - Heart Condition Jolie & Jen went to the vet today for spay & puppy teeth removal. As a precaution, we had an EKG done on both and Jen's results were abnormal. Thank goodness we elected to have the precautionary test done! Otherwise she would n The doctor immediately sent her results to a veterinary cardiologist for a consutation and was told not to proceed - Our vet said this is the first time in 3 years where he was told not to proceed with surgery due to an abnormal EKG reading. So far all we know is she has 2nd Stage of Atrioventricular Block (aka: AV Block) it has something to do with an abnormal heart beats. Since I'm at the office, I can't spend the time to really research it right now. Soon as I learn more about it I'll update you. In the mean while, if you can say a prayer for Jen that her condition is not too serious and not life threatening. I know your prayers will be heard! Corinne

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, Corinne, I'm sorry to hear this! I used to work for a pacemaker company in the sales field and I would donate my soon-to-expire pacers (but they still have 7-10 years of life in the pacer) to Vet hospitals. Since she has AV block, what happens is that the sinus node, our natural "pacer" cannot communicate w/ her ventricles and tell them to "get going". So, let's say she starts to run - her sinus node in the atrium says "let's beat faster" but it can't communicate with the ventricles so the ventricles just "sit" in what is called an "escape rhythm" - basically a slow, constant rhythm unaffected by activity needs. A pacemaker could be set at an "average" pace in the ventricles so that she wouldn't just sit at a the slow rhythm. Does this make sense to you? Anyway, it might be something to look into - they can def. be implanted into dogs. As a favor, I used to go to the Vet hospitals to do "pacer checks" every 6mths or so, since they need to tested and checked, and I that was the favorite part of my job. Keep me posted! Ann
