E-vet last night, she was lethargic and lying on her side.
T
he vet is pretty sure she has PDA- Patent Ductus Arteriosis. She had an xray and heart is obviously enlarged (bad) but she was not in heart failure yet (good). Prognosis is unknown and hopefully vet appt next week will do more diagnostics, but without surgery (5-8k was quoted) to correct the defect her lifespan is going to be under a year.
Quadriphinic, I am hoping for an outcome like yours, somehow. Do you remember the grade of murmur your girl had? The vet made it sound like the PDA + grade 5 = pretty bad, but I guess we wont know until we get an echo. |
