Dr Garner from Safari Animal Hospital treated her....he has done open heart surgery on pups and he has also implanted pacemakers when needed, with much success.....she was asymptomatic until she suddenly started having respiratory distress....after all the tests, and the diagnosis, and the treatment, Aija did well for another 10 years....Dr Garner travels all over the world, lecturing about cardiac surgery and issues and then he developed the computer program used by vets everywhere....he was gone more than he was in the office and I did not like the vets that were there covering the practice, so I moved. I think he is back there now, but I am thrilled with my vet now......
Thank God for excellent outcomes! However, since Wylie's issue seems to be from a murmur and the related issues, CHF under those circumstances seem to fare pretty good. |
