A quick report on the condition of Scooter ----we had him down to the vet hospital in Toronto to day ----Dr Williams gave him a good check over and also a Ultra sound on his heart -----she said that the problem was the Ductus Arteriosus like Rhett,s Mama said she thought it was-----she also said that they could fix the problem ether by going in through the chest and actually tieing the duct off or by going in through a vein in the leg and putting a stint in to block it------- because of scoots small size the later might be difficult------ she said the heart is slightly enlarged but it should shrink somewhat after the operation------she thought that after the operation he should be able to live a NORMAL life -------I want to go over all this with our local vet and get things going as soon as possible -
