Mitzi went for a second diagnosis on her heart today, and it is awful news.
My poor baby has a degree 2 blockage on her heart! The vet did a E.C.G and we have sent the results off to a third specialist on the mainland. I will be travelling up to Guildford to a carinary (sp?) heart specialist, who is going to decide what to do.
All 3 vets are puzzled as this condition is normally found in Labradors etc. Not once have they ever seen a toy breed with it.
I have been given 2 options, the first is a pacemaker, however they are worried as she is so small and the pacemakers are biggish, so that will probablly be a no.
The second is surgery where the vet will try to remove the blockages, it is a risky operation with a 50/50 success rate. Without surgery she will not live to be 3 yrs old.
I jus cant believe it,im so sad right now,what on earth do i do? SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ME ADVISE!
p.s she is allowed minimal exercise,no walks or playing with balls.
