I am going to be taking a puppy to Texas A&M this week to see the cardiologist. My vet strongly suspects PDA. YHR had a yorkie with PDA a few years ago, but I did not care for her nor do I remember a lot of the details.

There are two ways to operate on these and I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this. This puppy is quite small at 1 lb 6 oz and I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to do the least invasive type of surgery on a puppy that small. He is estimated to be approx. 4 months old.

I would appreciate any input that anyone might have.
